Williams wins a thriller
AAP Sunday 11 January 2009
Top seed Serena Williams has won an epic three-set battle against Sam Stosur in the first round of the Medibank International Sydney today.
After world No.1 Williams claimed the opening set 6-3, the Queenslander was broken twice in the second set but broke back both times to claim the set in a tiebreak 7-6(4).
Williams saved four match points on Stosur’s serve and recovered from a break down to win three consecutive games to seal the third set 7-5.
The American narrowly avoided becoming the first top seed to lose in the first round in Sydney since Jennifer Capriati in 2003.

All over for Sam in Brisbane
7 January 2009
It was a disappointing exit from the Brisbane International for Sam, going down to a resurgent Lucie Safarova in straight sets Tuesday. Sam and Lucie went game for game until 3-3 in the first set until Safarova broke Sam’s serve and never looked back. The final result was a 6-4 6-4 defeat in just over an hour. Check out the video of Sam’s press conference at the bottom of this page. Sam is not playing doubles this week, so she will focus on re-grouping and getting ready for the next big test at the Medibank International in Sydney next week. She is playing singles and doubles with Rennae Stubbs.
