Sam Stosur's record is fine - she has been a Top 25 player for the best part of 10 years, not a bad effort and there are a lot of players who can't boast that.
Out of all the court surfaces, the ones used in Australia give her the most trouble...she hates them, but never complains.
Have a look at her end of year player ranking (keeping in mind in 2007 and 2008 she was suffering from Lyme disease):

As Andre Agassi once said: "that's the thing about opinion, you don't have to know anything to have one..."
There isn't a tennis fan alive who would think that Stosur has achieved her potential. She's been a disappointment by any measure.
Federer is smug and a terrible loser. Certainly the greatest male player of all time, but not my cuppa.
