Stosur and Stubbs out of US Open doubles

Stosur and Stubbs out of US Open doubles

14 Sep 2009

Sam Stosur and Rennae Stubbs’ US Open doubles campaign has come to an end at the hands of No.1 seeded pair Cara Black and Liezel Huber.

The top seeds trailed Stosur and Stubbs by a set when rain postponed their women’s doubles semifinal on Saturday. The defending champions lifted their game as play resumed on a much nicer Sunday, rallying for a 5-7 6-3 6-1 win on Louis Armstrong stadium.

    So frustrating !!! :(
    You started so well yesterday and then this rain….I guess Black/Huber were too good today :(
    I’m sure you’ll get this first title soon, both of you really deserve it :)
    Sam, enjoy the time with your family and good luck for your next tournament !!!

    big bummer. I watched the scores on line and was sad about the loss and I then I went to play my doubles match today and played horribly…tough day for women’s doubles!
    good luck in your next tournaments!

    Sam,

    You and stubbs are still the awesome doubles-pair. Never mind this setback, for now, have a well deserved rest! Best of luck in your upcoming tournaments!!

  • Simi

    I´m so sorry you lost the doubles semis. That rain interuption must have stolen your momentum against the nr 1 seeds! But stay positive, you had a great doubles campaign at the Open anyway…
    Enjoy the time with your family, have a good rest and good luck for the rest of the year!
    You rock!

    I’m really sorry for your loss girls..When you took the first set in Saturday I was excited and somehow I was sure that you were going to win that match!But then came the rain and I think that broke your rythm..:/ But don’t get disappointed, you had an excellent year with Rennae with very good results!!:)Good luck now for the Doha championships and show them what you can do and why you deserve soo much a title,girls!!
    cheers!!

    Hey Sam, I can’t believe you moved up again in the singles ranking…..13th !!!! Awesome:)
    But like some of your other fans, I’m wondering why you’re not playing Seoul this week…..I hope everything’s OK !!!

  • Jaime

    Yep, no idea why, but she has a new career high ranking after Quebec! Now she is number 13!

  • DA

    Sammy’s not on the draw on the Hansol Open. Why? :/

  • Audrey

    It’s natural that Sam doesn’t play in Seoul… the best is Hantuchova(22) and Sam is 14 I think it’s understandable:)Sam plays with the top 10 now!!! :D please the come back of the forum it was great….

  • Kevin

    :( Sams not playing in seoul i was looking forward to that but i guess what Audrey said makes sense

  • Michael

  • Jaime

    I’m bored! Any news on Sam?

  • Drine

    Any news guys ??? I want the forum baaaaaack !!!!
    Well….seriously….I was looking at the draws for Tokyo and Sam will meet a qualifier in the first round but then it will be either Schiavone or Sharapova….ouch !!! Tough one but I can”t wait:))

  • Audrey

    Sam plays vs the american Glatch in Tokyo but I don’t know if they play today or not… Normally, Sam should win without difficulty (I hope :D ) go Sam you are always the best!

  • Jaime

    Sam to face Alexa Glatch in Tokyo first round, tough one

  • Simi

    Good luck for your 1st round match against Glatch in Tokyo. Hope you had a good time off and could recharge your batteries!
