Williams vs Stosur | 2010 French Open Women's Singles Quarterfinals
Serena Williams vs Samantha Stosur
2010 French Open - Women's Singles Quarterfinals
June 2, 2010
7th-seed Australian tennis player Samantha Stosur defeated No. 1-ranked Serena Williams in three sets (6-2, 6-7, 8-6 ) during Wednesday's Women's Singles Quarterfinals at the Court Philippe Chatrier in Roland Garros Stadium. Stosur advances to the French Open semi-finals for the second year in succession.
For the first time at any Grand Slam tournament since the 1979 Australian Open, none of the four female semifinalists owns a major title. Williams has 12, with five at the Australian Open — including this year — and three apiece at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon. The one at the French Open came in 2002, and she was a semifinalist in Paris the following year, but has gone seven years without even reaching the semis since then.
Stosur will take on 4th-seeded Serbian player Jelena Jankovic on the Women's Singles Semi-finals.
