Samantha Stosur went toe-to-toe with 12-time Grand Slam champ, Serena Williams, and it paid off big time. She survived one match point against Williams and won the third set 8-6.
After the match, the Aussie gal said she was calm and relaxing and those two elements helped her won the match against the world no. 1.
“I’ve calmed down a little bit since walking off the court,” a smiling Stosur said. “But I’m pretty happy with myself.”
Stosur now looks like the favorite to win the tournament after stunning Justine Henin and now Williams, both with 19 slams combined.
