Serena left stunned as Stosur seals famous win

SERENA WILLIAMS last night struggled to comprehend how she could have played so badly after becoming the second major star to fall to Samantha Stosur at this year’s French Open.

Seventh seed Stosur, who on Monday became the first woman to beat Justine Henin at Roland Garros for six years, held off a tremendous fightback by Williams – who had match point – to win 6-2 6-7 (2/7) 8-6 and reach her second successiveRoland Garros semi-final.

The Australian made full use of her impressive physique to overpower world number one Williams for almost two sets but looked to have blown her chance after serving for the match in the second.
