Errani is ONE set away from her first GS final.

Alex, are you buying into the ES discussion that Stosur's too tight and has not handled the pressure well since she won the USO?

You can feel her little mind whirring on every point. The one where she hit a second serve to Stosur's FH after serving to her BH all match - Stosur was already trying to run around her BH and couldn't crush it like normal. The high balls to Stosur's BH designed to bring out prime Shanksur. Hitting the ball straight at Stosur at net. Those amazingly disguised dropshots <3

I'm not watching on ES, but as far as I can tell, Stosur, like Schiavone, has pretty much reverted to her "normal" level since the USO. She flopped in Australia but otherwise hasn't had notably awful results.

Besides, Stosur performs better in the role of underdog than favourite - in that respect, I don't think much has changed whether RG '10, USO'11 or RG'12. Mats Wilander talking about how the Stosur backhand has improved a lot.

Remember at the Australian Open, when I made HARD fun of Zheng for losing to Errani?
Oops.

Also Errani will be Top Ten after she wins this match. LOOOOL.

I had flashbacks to Tina at RG '99 when Errani began questioning the call and saying they were pointing at the wrong mark.

Stosur has a break but she's at DOOSE. She's a moron.
There is a thread at WTAW about "HOW CAN ANYONE HATE SAM STOSUR!?!?!?!?!?!!!!111333" Because she's an idiot and she sucks.

Stosur is...just not a good player. This is hilarious.

In that last service game, Errani gave her a second serve to crush and a FH error, but Stosur still couldn't take advantage. And she's being so cranky and weird today. WTF.
