Stosur positive despite loss Australia’s Samantha Stosur said she has taken plenty of positives from her performances in Stuttgart, despite losing Saturday’s semi-final to Germany’ s Julia Goerges. Goerges became the first German for 15 years to reach the final of Stuttgart’ s WTA tournament when she inflicted a 6-4 3-6 7-5 win over fifth-seed Stosur. Stosur, who went onto reach the French Open final last year after losing to Justine Henin in the 2010 Stuttgart final, said she was disappointed, but also happy to have again reached the last four this year. Sammy说在斯图加特的表现 尽管差强人意 但能留到四强赛 仍具有许多正面意义 “I am obviously disappointed to have lost the match, but it is encouraging to have come here and played well,” said the 27-year-old. “I probably haven’t played with this much confidence all year, I have come through and played four good matches. “It is disappointing to lose, but it is definitely something I can build on. ” 她说 "输球总是不好过，但这反而激励我想打的更好，今年目前为止我还没以极佳的 信心状态出赛，可这回我已经度过这阶段，并打了四场精彩的比赛，纵使我输 球，但我相信自己绝对能打得更好。" Stosur will now play the Madrid Open, which starts on April 30, and the Rome tournament, May 9-15, before she focuses on the French Open, which starts in Paris on May 22. Wins here over Spain’s Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez and Daniela Hantuchova on clay put Stosur into the last eight before she picked up a valuable win over second seed and world number three Vera Zvonareva in the quarter-finals. Sam击败桑琪丝、韩娃等人进入八强赛，然後击败赛会第二种子与世界第三选手-Z娃 ，获得今年最有价值的胜利，在法网前，接下来迎接她的是4/30号的马德里公开赛， 以及在5/9~5/15号进行的罗马赛。 “It’s an important time of year coming up for me now,” said Stosur. “I think I have taken a step in the right direction towards playing where I was going into the French Open last year.” With top stars Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters both struggling with injuries, Stosur is amongst the favourites at Roland Garros this year, but the Australian played down her tag. “It’s nice that people have confidence in me, but the French is nearly a month away and there are still things I need to improve before then,” she said. “Even with Kim and Serena two out of the draw, you still have the number one and three players in the world, plus everyone else going into the rest of the draw. “I have had good results there last year, but you have to start from scratch again. “Winning your first round match is the most important thing and I hope I can do so well there again.” 她说，"接下来是我一整年的关键时刻，对去年法网来说，我想事情正朝着对的 方向发展，人们对我有信心是好事，但距离法网举行时间只剩差不多一 个多月，仍还有许多部分我必须加强改进，尽管克妈和小威不会参赛， 但还有世界第一和其他三个选手，以及剩下的那些竞争者。 "去年我的战绩很好，但我必须想办法再达成一次，赢得第一轮比赛至关 重要，希望我能再创佳绩。" http://tinyurl.com/3f9oqm7 --
