Stosur sets her sights on the top 10

29 Jun 2009

With a French Open semifinal under her belt and her best-ever performance at Wimbledon, Samantha Stosur is now eyeing a breakthrough into the world's top 10. Stosur's ranking surged to a career high of No.18 in June after her fairytale run at Roland Garros and the Queenslander is determined not to rest on her laurels so she can go even higher. "Once you get [into the top] 20 you want to get to 10," she told reporters after her third-round exit at Wimbledon on Saturday. "But that's not going to happen without hard work and that's not just going to suddenly appear. "I have to keep working hard and working on my game and doing all the things I have that have got me to this point. "It's going to be tough but I think it's possible." While Stosur was beaten 7-5 6-2 by Serbian glamour girl Ana Ivanovic in the third round at Wimbledon, it still represented a breakthrough moment for the Australian. Stosur had never before made it past the second round at the all England Club and had entered the grasscourt Grand Slam with lofty ambitions after notching up the highest achievement in her singles career in Paris. But she says she still has plenty of work to do if she wants to crack into the top 10. Her usually reliable kick serve serve let her down at Wimbledon, especially against Ivanovic when she made five double faults. "It's always something you've got to work on," Stosur said. "I just know that now I`ve got the confidence so I think now I can really start to try and build on what I've got and try and make things better." Her former coach, Renae Moller, certainly thought she had what it takes to enter tennis's elite club of top players. "Absolutely. No question about it," he said after Stosur won her quarterfinal match in Paris. "She's got the game, there's no reason why she shouldn't be a top 10 player. She's got all the tools." Not only has Stosur's ranking improved this season, so have her pay packets. She walked away with AUD$468,400 from the French Open and collected another AUD$59,535 when she exited the singles draw at Wimbledon. The 25 year old remains in the doubles draw with compatriot Rennae Stubbs at Wimbledon and plans to head home to the Gold Coast for a few weeks once their campaign ends. It will be the first time she has seen mum Diane and dad Tony since her claycourt success in Paris, and no doubt a family celebration is on the cards. Stosur plans to take a week or two off before resuming training and heading to the United States to play at the Stanford hardcourt event in late July and then a series of other tournaments ahead of the US Open in August. "I actually wasn't going to go home and decided, `why not?'," she said. "I only told them a few days ago, so I think they're pretty happy that I'll be home for a week. "And I'm looking forward to getting home, definitely."
