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說在斯圖加特的表現 儘管差強人意 但能留到四強賽 仍具有許多正面意義 “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. ” 她說 "輸球總是不好過，但這反而激勵我想打的更好，今年目前為止我還沒以極佳的 信心狀態出賽，可這回我已經度過這階段，並打了四場精彩的比賽，縱使我輸 球，但我相信自己絕對能打得更好。" 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擊敗桑琪絲、韓娃等人進入八強賽，然後擊敗賽會第二種子與世界第三選手-Z娃 ，獲得今年最有價值的勝利，在法網前，接下來迎接她的是4/30號的馬德里公開賽， 以及在5/9~5/15號進行的羅馬賽。 “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.” 她說，"接下來是我一整年的關鍵時刻，對去年法網來說，我想事情正朝著對的 方向發展，人們對我有信心是好事，但距離法網舉行時間只剩差不多一 個多月，仍還有許多部分我必須加強改進，儘管克媽和小威不會參賽， 但還有世界第一和其他三個選手，以及剩下的那些競爭者。 "去年我的戰績很好，但我必須想辦法再達成一次，贏得第一輪比賽至關 重要，希望我能再創佳績。" http://tinyurl.com/3f9oqm7 --
