Sam Stosur: I feel proud of myself
Though Samantha Stosur lost in the finals of the Guangzhou Open, she was very proud of herself and her efforts. Sam Stosur’s impressive week at the Guangzhou Open ended on Saturday with a three-set loss to third seed Sofia Kenin in the final.
Needing a wildcard to enter the main draw due to her ranking dip, this performance assures the Australian a Top-100 spot again.
“I feel really proud of myself,” Stosur said during the on-court interview. “She played very, very well throughout the whole match, and then really picked it up in that second set and third set. So credit to her. But I still made the final so there’s still lots to be proud of.”
Speaking about the match, the Australian added, “I think it was pretty close — there wasn’t a whole lot in it. But I didn’t get off to as good a start in the third set as what I wanted to, and that kind of made the difference I think as the third (set) went on.”
She then went on to thank her support staff, saying, “I’d like to thank all my team … it was a great week and couldn’t have done it without you. Hopefully we can get to another final sometime soon — that’d be great. Thank you very much (to the tournament) for the wildcard, as I was able to play — I certainly made the most of it.”
