[OrangeOne]

[statto]

Thanks.


Stosur in 3.

 

[vortex1]

Monstrous forehand to break.

 

[OrangeOne]

Monstrous forehand to break.

She's hitting that FH at will...

Poor will.

 

[Stinkdyr]

C'mon Dinostosur!!!!!!!!

beat that weird al jankovic!

 

[Sentinel]

Did you guys know ED was gonna retire that you did not create a thread for her ???

 

[vortex1]

If Jankovic doesn't step up she's gonna get roasted. Sam's serve looks unbreakable, while she struggles on her own. She's giving Sam too many short balls and Sam is blasting the ball away.

 

[bezs]

Sammy in control that's the way

 

[Sangria]

Good luck Sammy!! All of Australia are behind you.

 

[OrangeOne]

Did you guys know ED was gonna retire that you did not create a thread for her ???

ED isn't aussie, and I've never sat 5 or 10 seats away from ED's support team while ED didn't almost beat Serena in Sydney....

Stosur, on the other hand, I was there 16mths ago when she should have beat Serena for the 1st time, sitting metres from her support crew!

 

[Sentinel]

Stegosaurus has 2 BPs again !!!

 

[vortex1]

Lmao 2Bps. Jankovic got used to a clown draw is seems. Can't do crap now.

5-1.

Time to tank the set and try to salvage the situation in the second.

Looks like a massive roasting.

 

[Sentinel]

Good luck Sammy!! All of Australia are behind you.

All of Asia too.

5-1.

 

[Sangria]

5-1 Stosur, man those guns are really pumping so far.

 

[Underhand]

Good luck Sammy!! All of Australia are behind you.

Including all of the platypuses!!!

 

[Stinkdyr]

Weird Al Jankovic going down in 2 straight sets.

Sammi to win her first French Open!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sentinel]

Chair umpire is hot !!

 

[vortex1]

Serena-like serving.

 

[Sangria]

Boo 6-1 1st set to Sammy, keep it up!!

 

[1970CRBase]

I really love the authoritative way Sam's whipping that FH. She's playing a mans game, not a WTA game. Her FH is the first womens forehand I've liked since Graf.

And I gotta thank her for proving me wrong and standing up to Serena Williams.... Today, she looks plenty confident, probably due to that, which was undoubtedly good for her in every way.

 

[OrangeOne]

1st set stosur!

 

[Sentinel]

Including all of the platypuses!!!

LMAO

2 set points for Aussie.

second DF by Stosur.

Oooo that went out of the parkign lot !

6-1 SS

 

[vortex1]

Too bad for JJ breezing through clowns, never being challenged once. Now she's going to get destroyed.

 

[bezs]

Sammy's on a roll, c'mon crush her

I was in the stands in Sydney, she should have had a 2-2 H2H with Serena, and anyone who has a 2-2 H2H against Serena should win against Serena on clay if clay is their best surface.....

Go Sammy!

 

[Underhand]

The Drama Queen couldn't handle The Muscle Woman's superpower!

 

[OrangeOne]

Janko's game doesn't translate well to clay....


Against a real clay-courter,anways!

 

[1970CRBase]

5-1 Stosur, man those guns are really pumping so far.

I've just been looking at the AO 2006, Hingis vs Stosur whole match. Sam's FH was nothing like now - nor those great big guns - her footwork also has improved a LOT

 

[OrangeOne]

No winners in 1st set from Janko

give the title to Sammy now!

Their more like bazookas than guns hers puts mine to shame.

 

[AAAA]

3 BPs to Jankovic

 

[OrangeOne]

Injury / illness in 2008 = massive time off & improvement in fitness and muscularity.

Stosur in 2009 onwards is a whole new player.

 

[Raindogs]

Three break points for Janky.

 

[Crispix]

Jankovic is crushing the ball now O.O

Not just Spanish doctors know everything about certain juices, you know.

 

[chiapants226]

Break back for Stosur!

 

[Raindogs]

Stosur sniffing out the cracks in Jelena's game now.

 

[vortex1]

Jankovic wasted her chance. Don't think Sam will falter again like that.

 

[OrangeOne]

Not just Spanish doctors know everything about certain juices, you know.

just because someone is fit & fast doesn't mean they cheat.

 

[chiapants226]

wow that was a sweet backhand DTL winner

 

[OrangeOne]

wow that was a sweet backhand DTL winner

Two sweet BH winners.

Fh miss tho

 

[OrangeOne]

Phenomenal serving under pressure....

 

[chiapants226]

Phenomenal serving under pressure....

Yeah, very clutch serving under the break points, Stosur seems to be mentally stronger than usual

 

[Raindogs]

Daayum that umpire looks great in a pair of slacks.

 

[OrangeOne]

Daayum that umpire looks great in a pair of slacks.

just hypothesis on my part, but she'd probably look even hotter without them
