Samantha Stosur, Australian Hopefuls Talk Prior To 2011 US Open

Samantha Stosur

Do I think Samantha Stosur will win the 2011 US Open? No. However, I do think she can win the US Open, so if she does it would not be a surprise. What I don’t like about this interview is that she seems to be content in matching last year’s quarterfinal appearance. She should be focused on winning the whole thing. Even when a player like Rafael Nadal says he takes every match one at a time, deep down his goal is to win every tournament he plays. Samantha sounds like she would really be happy to match last year’s result. I hope she has some early success and starts to believe she is the player to beat.

Of the other Australian stars, look out for Bernard Tomic. He could spring an upset here. Jelena Dokic could also be a wild-card.
