Stosur vs Sheik 2015

[Wet Willie]

So, is she suited to Australian court surfaces...or is that just part of being average with "issues"??

Why do the French prefer clay courts - just to annoy us??!!

Her best win loss records in Grand Slam singles are at the French and US Open.

Not sure we'll be worrying about Sam Stosur for too much long. A new star is about to shine!! Carlton's own Dasha Gavrilova!!

Here you go Sheik.

If we applied the "Stosur has done more in tennis than anyone on here" argument to the CFC, a site like this would not even exist. Any one of the more maligned CFC players has played more senior games than any of us ever will.

The disappointment with Stosur is that she is perceived as an underachiever, someone who has potential for far better results than what she is actually achieving - whether this is true, or whether she is in fact an average player who had some good form or good luck etc. a few years back, I guess only time will tell.

For what it is worth, Stosur seems to be on a distinct decline. She isn't young for tennis, although some, like the Williams sisters, have shown that a good enough tennis player an go if the hunger is there and the fitness is there. I'd say that Stosur is showing signs of neither of those things being true.

Yes, I’d say her playing career isn’t a long term proposition at this stage.  Of course, I’d rather watch Sam than Tomic or Kyrgios. In fact, I’d find something else to watch if either of those two was playing ????

I can understand how you feel. Those two have so much talent, but not have the mindsets to go on to greatness. They would fail our recruiting process, if they were footballers, that is for certain.
It is a pity, but that is the way it is.

I like watching Kyrgios play, I'm sure more Aussies would support him if his name was Clarke.

Nah, we call Hewitt a wanker and he won US Opens while being only half the pork chop Kyrgios is!
