Australia is getting poured with rain lately, but there is still a heavy drought on the ground of Melbourne. It has been so long since an Aussie man or woman won the home slam, Samantha Stosur knows people are watching her.
“I know it’s been a long time. I’d love to be that person to break that drought,” the fifth-seeded Stosur said. “At the end of the day, I’ve got to play good matches, and I’ve got to do seven of them to win the tournament.”
With the exits of Justine Henin and Venus Williams, there are now two less opponents Stosur has to worry about. So far she is playing great and hopefully she will keep it up until the last Saturday!
