Stosur and Stubbs power into New York semis

9 Sep 2009

Australian third seeds Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs have advanced to the US Open women's doubles semifinals in New York with a straight-sets victory over American Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Russian Nadia Petrova. Stosur and Stubbs won 6-2 6-3 on Wednesday (AEST) and will play either the top-seeded Zimbabwean–American combination of Cara Black and Liezel Huber or Spanish sixth seeds Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez and Nuria Llagostera for a berth in Sunday's final. Stosur and Stubbs are both chasing their second US Open doubles title after each previously winning with American Lisa Raymond. Stosur hoisted the trophy in 2005, after Stubbs broke through at Flushing Meadows in 2001.
