I watched Sammie beat Serena Williams in the quarters at the French. What a win!! Also, what a lesson for any sports player. In the face of adversity, just hang in because your break will come.
In the 3rd set Williams had gone up a notch & was serving bullets. Stosur was just hanging in on her serve. At 6 - 6 in the 3rd it wasn't looking good for Sammie. Then the cracks came for Williams in the 13th game on her serve & Sammie was able to capitalise on her own serve to win 8 - 6. In the blink of an eye the game changed & Stosur won.
Hopefully there will be no excuses coming from the Williams camp. I remember back in the 80s when Martina Navratilova lost a game fair & square. She later came out & said she had lost because of a virus that was caused by a monkey urinating on her peanuts.
