Stoser through to the 2nd round of the WTA

Good news! A fellow Australian has made it through the second round of the WTA. Samantha Stoser,  the fifth seed Australian tennis player, will now take on Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia for the second round. She had beaten Martinez Sanchez for the first round by 7-5 6-1 and she said that she is pleased with the win, unlike her loss in January on the Australian open when she lost in the third round. I am glad that an Australian has won the first round in the WTA and I wish her the best in the future matches.

Dokic out of Fed Cup playoff

Australia's favourite female tennis international (Jelena Dokic) has withdrawn from Australia's Fed Cup campaign. Tennis Australia were informed on Sunday night that Dokic would miss the tie due to exhaustion and was taking some time off to recover.

This is devestating not only for Jelena but also for all her fans including me!!! After making a miraculous return to the tennis arena, she won everybody's heart in an outstanding performance at the 2009 Australian Open. Unfortunately she wasn't able to progress past the quarter finals, nevertheless she proved that a fierce competitor existed within her heart. Overall, with Samantha Stosur opting to focus on her French Open build-up, Australia has taken a deep blow in their quest for the Fed Cup.

Stosur Crashed out in straights

Unfortunately this morning Samantha Stosur - the last remaining Aussie in the WTA Family Circle Cup crashed out in straights sets to unseeded Russian Elena Vesina.  Surprisingly, Sam who was the second seed & the defending champion of this cup, should have been able to win this game.

She has also voluntarily pulled out of next months Fed Cup. This therefore raises the question - will she be entirely prepared for the next up-and-coming French Open?? A grand slam in which she has the capabilities of doing so?

Dokic Sent Packing

Big upset for Australia as Dokic has lost in the first round of the WTA event in Charleston. She went home by losing to Georgian qualifier Anna Tatishvili 7-5, 2-6, 6-4. Im a bit disappointed, now only two Australian's are left in the draw leaving defending champion Samantha Stosur and Anastasia Rodionova to compete. To be honest i was expection more from Dokic.. Let's just hope that both Samantha Stosur and Anastasia Rodionova can do better in thier upcoming matches.
