First Round Australian Open 2012 Shocking Upset: Sorana Cirstea Upsets US Open Champion Samantha Stosur 7-6 6-3!!!

Once again, Australian tennis star Samantha Stosur can’t handle the pressure performing at home! Sorana Cirstea upset Stosur 7-6 6-3 in the first round of the 2012 Australian Open.

Cirstea played well she attacked Sam’s weak backhand which she slices a lot and charged to the net. Samantha looked confused on the court and lost she wasn’t aggressive enough.

I believe Sam put too much pressure on herself she just doesn’t do well when she is expected to succeed. I thought Samantha had turned the corner when she blasted Serena Williams off the court at the US OPEN five months ago in September 2010 6-2 6-3.  The Australian media is also to blame they expect too much from Samantha she is a talented player but she is also very inconsistent!  Sam is too erratic, too up and down to become a top five or top three player.
