Tennis Info Online

Samantha Stosur is a player out of Australia that has recently been playing the best tennis of her career. This is evidenced by her reaching the top 10 rankings of the WTA World Rankings for the first time ever in March of 2010. Her current ranking in the WTA World Rankings is 11th.

Stosur is one of the most powerful players in women’s tennis. She has one of the toughest first and second serves in the world. Recently she hit the 3rd fastest women’s serve ever recorded.

Part of the recent success of Stosur can be attributed to a change in her backhand shot. She has added a slice to her backhand. This has set up more points for her in recent matches.

Though Stosur is very talented, she still has only won one Singles Title in her professional career. In 2010 Stosur has achieved a record of 12-5.

Though Stosur has tons of talent, she still struggles to beat the better players in the world. She has won just one match on the year against players that are currently ranked higher than her in the WTA World Rankings. This match was against Jelena Jankovic, who managed to beat her in the semifinals of a different tournament. Stosur has talent that is rivaled by few in women’s tennis. If she can pull everything together, she has the strengths and abilities to be one of the top 5 players in the women’s tennis. However, the consistency necessary to achieve this has yet to show forth in her game.
