Jarmila Groth Groth said a recent friendly practise session with Stosur inadvertently helped her prepare for the shock win. “I’ve played her before and we practised together a couple of days ago and, I guess, I had some sort of idea what I wanted to do and tonight it worked very well,” Groth said. “I haven’t played her for two years, so it helped, it gives you a gauge of what you can expect.” She said her serve had developed into her biggest weapon and it played a major role in the victory, while she also tried to limit Stosur’s forehand opportunities. “I was trying to be aggressive attack with my second serve to make her go on the run, to try to play through the backhand side to try and make her run to her forehand,” Groth said. Sam Stosur Stosur had no regrets about the practise session, admitting Groth deserved the win thanks to a near-flawless display. “She made one error in the first set and hit 12 winners,” Stosur said. “Sometimes practise sessions you look at your opponent a lot and for me, I’ m more concerned about what I’m doing and my game rather than worrying about what my opponent is doing in a practise session. “It’s no real secret how we both play so regardless whether we played the other day we both have a fair idea of each others strength and weaknesses.” It was the second match in a row Stosur has started sluggishly, but this time she paid the ultimate price as Groth claimed her first top 10 scalp. “I had my chance in the second at 4-1 with some break points and you have to be able to take those,” Stosur said. “I definitely can start matches better than what I did. I’m not too pleased the way I went down 4-0.” 上次是派娃 這次換Jarka ~ 澳洲第一女單爆冷敗 奚落當然是少不了的啦 Sam請好好享受! XD --
