World No. 10 Samantha Stosur has caused a major upset in the final of the U.S Open by defeating home favourite Serena Williams in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. Stosur is now the first Australian to win the U.S Open title since Margaret Court in 1973.

Stosur’s powerful game was at it’s best tonight, and a faltering Williams was unable to work her way into the match. Stosur took the lead early in the first set, and never seemed to lose confidence. Although she’d lost her only other previous slam final, Stosur’s attitude on Arthur Ashe tonight was faultless.

Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said of Serena. The world No. 1 seemed agitated at times, and she’ll surely be regretting her decision to express disapproval towards an official at the beginning of the second set.

Stosur’s victory shouldn’t just be attributed to a Williams meltdown though. Stosur has become far more comfortable on hard courts in recent years, and she’s played with confidence in the tail end of this season. Her performance tonight was superb, and her success was fully deserved.
