Sam Stosur falls to Victoria Azarenka in WTA Championships in Turkey
A WAYWARD Samantha Stosur suffered a straights-sets drubbing at the hands of world No.4 Victoria Azarenka at the season-ending $4.7 million WTA Championships in Turkey.
Following her breakthrough victory over Maria Sharapova yesterday, the Australian was out of sorts in her 6-2 6-2 round-robin loss to the clinical Belarussian at Istanbul's Sinan Erdem Arena.It was the Queenslander's fifth straight defeat against Azarenka and the world No.4 has yet to drop a set against Stosur.
The result means the reigning US Open champion must defeat Li Na in her final round-robin match on tomorrow (Saturday morning AEDT) to reach the semi-finals.
The top two players from each group advance to weekend action in the elite eight-woman competition.
Stosur produced 26 unforced errors to her opponent's 13 but dismissed her tight schedule being the reason behind her ordinary showing.- by http://www.theaustralian.com.au
