  • Samantha Stosur Wins the Southern California Open

    Samantha Stosur Wins the Southern California Open

    Samantha Stosur (5), of Australia, beat Victoria Azarenka (1) 6-2, 6-3 at the Southern California Open today, in Carlsbad.

    It was Stosur’s first win against Azarenka, and the Australian’s first title since winning the US Open in 2011.

    From the beginning, the match was all about Stosur, the last-minute wildcard entrant. She served well, won almost every point when she came to the net, and her groundstrokes were particularly effective.

  • Wipeout Wednesday at Wimbledon

    Wipeout Wednesday at Wimbledon

    Wipeout Wednesday

    The face of the Wimbledon Championships was altered dramatically on Wednesday, with the shock early exits of seven time winner and defending champion Roger Federer, former ladies champion Maria Sharapova, and the 2002 winner Lleyton Hewitt. All three were surprised by lower ranked opponents in the second round. Federer’s defeat to unheralded Sergiy Stakhovsky is being hailed by some as the biggest upset in Wimbledon history.

    The surprise defeats were exacerbated by a wave of withdrawals from other top players citing injuries. The surprise conquerer of Rafael Nadal, Steve Darcis, withdrew with an injured shoulder, shortly followed by sixth seeded frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and third ranked women’s seed Victoria Azarenka. Another seed Marin Cilic and John Isner retired with knee injuries, and a left hamstring problem ended Radek Stepanek’s campaign. Yaroslava Shvedova rounded off the list.

    It was the worst day for injury withdrawals in tournament history. Some players, including Azarenka, have complained of slippiness underfoot and the poor condition of the court.
