Stosur breezes past Schnyder

Sam Stosur breezed through the third round of the Dubai Championships with a comfortable victory over Patty Schnyder.

Stosur, seeded No.4, defeated the Swiss Schnyder 6-3 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals.

“It is uncharted waters for me to make it this far,” Stosur told Eurosport. “I am pleased to be there and hopefully I can go further.

“I thought I played quite well. She is tricky, as she can play with spin then flatten it out, hit a winner and then hit one in the net. I felt I played well the whole way through.”

She will play Jelena Jankovic for a spot in the final four and, if successful, Stosur is guaranteed to rise to a career high ranking of world No.4 next Monday.

    Hi Sammy , it wasn’t an easy match against Schnyder obviously , she hit the ball with top spin stablely and that made whole games get a little bit complicated , but in this condition , you were patient and waited for her getting down , then seized the chance to colse the match , it’s just so right so far , enjoy your next match against Jonkovic ! : )

    Great win again Sam, as you said it was not easy to play against someone who plays so strangely. What I really admired about your win is that although her unconventional style made it hard for you to really find your rhythm, you stayed focused throughout and did what you had to do to secure the win. Good luck today against Jelena, that could well be a classic match. She played great against Kanepi, and looks to be getting back to her best form, but if you stay aggressive I’m sure you can beat her. Whatever happens, it should be a fun match so make sure you enjoy it. Congrats on your doubles win as well, and good luck in your doubles QF!

    Dear Sammy I’am sorry for lost quarterfinals against Jelena Jankovic but this is your best result in Dubai in singles so far I think. It was close in third set but yours opponent play very well and it was difficult but you do not have to be too disappointed because you are really trying to win this match but didn’t go today. You are great player and person Sammy just don’t give up.
