10 August 2008
BEIJING, AAP - Samantha Stosur was relishing the prospect of a second-round showdown with American superstar Serena Williams but fellow Australian Chris Guccione bombed out on a rain-marred opening day of the Olympic tennis tournament. Stosur outclassed Italy's Sara Errani 6-3 6-2 to keep her twin medal hopes alive after Guccione succumbed 6-3 7-6 (7-3) to American eighth seed James Blake in his first-round match. While Guccione was left to focus on the men's doubles with Davis Cup teammate Lleyton Hewitt, Stosur was eyeing a dream encounter with Williams, the women's fourth seed and eight-times grand slam champion. Williams was leading Belarussian Olga Govortsova 6-3 2-1 when the two players scampered off centre court for a third time as a nasty thunderstorm brewed in Beijing. Play was later abandoned for the day, but Stosur had little doubt Williams would eventually prevail to confirm their Tuesday date. "Obviously it's going to be a tough one, but why not play one of the best in the world here while representing your country," said Stosur, who is also partnering Rennae Stubbs in the women's doubles. "I'm just really happy to be out there again and I'll certainly be going for it and hopefully I'll play some good tennis."Beijing 2008 Olympics Games
