Congratulations to Sam Stosur for her emphatic victory over Serena Williams in the US open final.
While many were marveling at the return of Serena Williams from along term injury, many let their focus leave Sam Stosur.
Maybe that was because she did not play on centre court until the final. Maybe it was because an Australian had not won the Women’s US Open title for 37 Years when West Australian Margaret Court claimed the title.
Sam Stosur became the first female Grand Slam winner in 31 years since Evonne Cawley won the country’s last title. Australian women’s tennis has had many oh-so-near moments in those 31 years, which makes this moment all the more special.
Many in tennis circles believed that Stosur had what it took to win a major, and now she has proved to her self that she does. Congratulation Sam Stosur on becoming a major part of Australian and World Tennis history.
