Aussie, Aussie, Aussie echos around Roland Garros as Henin is defeated by Stosur!

by on May.31, 2010, under Justine Henin, Samantha Stosur

Samantha Stosur took off her sunglasses to begin the second set, after a terrible nervous beginning, and commenced to play like a champion. She defeated the 4 time champion Justine Henin 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, and moves on to meet Serena Williams.

The sun was not shining at the start of the match, and it was hard to understand why she wearing her Oakleys. She was nervous and could hardly manage to win a point on her own service. The second set, sans glasses, was a different story as she hit forehand winner after forehand winner to hand Henin her worse single set defeat in a long long time.

Stosur’s second serve, where she won 60% of the points, was the key to the match. Henin at just 5’5″ was forced to play the high kicking service up around her ears, and as talented as she is, she could not return the ball with any authority.
