Goodbye 2012!
“Sam Stosur’s Australian Open campaign hit by surgery to fix bone spur“, “Stosur reveals ankle pain“, “Stosur battling ankle injury“, “There is no ideal time to do anything like that, but it had to be done and everything’s gone well. But I haven’t been able to do enough of what I wanted to do (in training),”… We cannot say we did not know it.
Sam lost 7-6(4) 7-5 after fighting 1h45 against Sofia Arvidsson.
Stats of the match:
1st serve: 67% / 75% Sofia,
Aces: 1 / 5 Sofia,
Double faults: 7 / 1 Sofia,
Winners: 28 / 13 Sofia,
Unforced Errors: 48 / 21 Sofia,
Break points won: 3/4 (4/8 Sofia),

“I’m going to hit the practice court as much as I can”
Sam tried to play her best tennis, but she did not move well. The good thing is her left ankle is not strapped anymore and it seemed she did not suffer too much. Sam needs time and today is too soon. Keep our fingers crossed for the future and let us support Sam and wish her a very happy, healthy and successful new year.
If you want to send Sam your best wishes, please post a message on her Facebook page or go visit her official website.
“All you can do is try your best. I know that people really believe in me” (@BrisbaneTennis, 1 January).
Next tounament for Sam will be the Apia International Sydney (6-12 January 2013).
Have a Happy New Year 2013, healthy, safe and successful! Take care of yourselves!
