ANA vs STOSUR
Ana vs Stosur
Ana takes on 18th seed Samantha Stosur in the third round of The Championships at Wimbledon on Saturday. It will be the third meeting between the pair, with both women having won one match each previously.Those two previous encounters both came at Grand Slams, with Stosur triumphing in straight sets at the Australian Open in 2006, before Ana won 6-0, 6-3 at the French Open later that year.Stosur, a four-time Grand Slam champion in doubles, reached her highest ever singles ranking this month by virtue of a run to the semi-finals of the French Open. She has reached the third round here thanks to three-set wins over Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the United States and Germany's Tatjana Malek."She's on a great roll" said Ana about the 25-year-old Australian. "She played semis at the French Open. She's a tough opponent, especially on grass. She serves and volleys a lot. It's going to be a tough game.
"I'm really enjoying my tennis at the moment and I love competing and I enjoy challenges. I'm just excited to have the opportunity to play in third round, and against good players. It's going to be exciting, I think."
