Stosur v Williams

[poliphilo]

That was hard to watch. Nerve-jangling.

Stosur beat Henin after a wobble- and now with wobbles on both sides- she's beaten Serena too.

In the first set she had Serena completely over-awed. That's not something you see too often. Her loss of confidence in the second set suggests she's not actually as cool as her manner on court suggests. But then she came back and reasserted her authority.

All four quarter finalists are players who've never won a grand slam title.
