Sam Is Arrived At Strasbourg

WTT Tour has a really great idea, every week we have a blogger of the week, who writes about her feeling, tournament, eating etc.
This week our blogger of the week will be..... the Australian Samatha Stosur. Australia's have a really great season so far. 6 final with Charleston and Forest Hills trophy and a mixed doubles Australian Open trophy. In the ranking we can see Australia in the 3rd position.

"Hi everybody,

you know, I'm in a good shape and my goal is to win the Roland Garros. But before our second Slam, I have to play in Strasbourg, and fortunately I'm already here. I love the city, I was shopping today and I bought a cute dress, which is match with my new shoes.

The players party will be tomorrow evening and because of I'm single I'd like to know new people but unfortunately I'll have to sit beside a Spanish player, who hates everyone.

Tomorrow I'm going to go to the sightseeing, I'm going to see Strasbourg and after that probably I'm going to go to Paris, where I'm going to see the French Open's clay and I'll train there.

See you tomorrow,

Sam"

I Don't Know What Was The Problem...

http://www.geocities.com/meghannsite/pictures/0samsto.jpg


The 2nd seed Sam Stosur lost in the first round in Strasbourg. This tournament is the last before Roland Garros.

"I don't know what was the problem. I wanted to win this match, but today I couldn't play my game. Gisela was stronger and I didn't find antidote."

"Tomorrow I'll go to the Paris again, but now I'll be there till end of Roland Garros. I'll write tomorrow more, but now I'm disappointed.

Bye,

Sam"

Wow!!! Amazing stuff from the Georgians. I dont think anyone expected them to win here but they have had a great run, defeating seeds and then overpowering their final opponents. In terms of the actual tournament winners, this is the biggest shock on tour yet. Amazing tournament from Georgia. Congrats.

Dementieva Is From Now Australian Player

http://www.thetennischannel.com/usopen/dementieva_glam.jpg

:eek: :eek: Is it unbelievable, right? Former Russian top player will play from now for Australia. She gave to me an interview today.

"Well, I'm so glad now. When I was Russian, I haven't too many chance to play a match. I know there are a lot of great players there, so it's okay. Australian's coach searched me yesterday and he asked me, what is my opionon about it. I was happy."

"From now I'll be able to play a lot of matches. See you on the court."

Dementieva's first tournament will be the Roland Garros, good luck there Lena!

Dementieva: "I can win Grand Slam"

http://www2.tennisserver.com/turbo/images/Dementieva_06_08_16/ElenaandAnne.jpg

This words were Lena's last words in her first official interview, where she's already Australian.

"Samatha is a great player and I'm sad that she won't play in Paris. But you know, she is injured but probably she'll be ready for Wimbledon."

"I'm training hard, and I believe I'm great player. I can win Grand Slam. That's all I think. Sorry, I know it was short interview but I'm tired, I need sleep a lot. Bye."

:eek: Lena=Aussie?! :haha: :p

Yes. :rolls: :angel:
