French Open: Samantha Stosur marches into third round

Samantha Stosur is refusing to look beyond her next match after bossing her way into the third round of an increasingly inviting French Open draw with a claycourt masterclass in Paris.

Mixing awesome firepower with sublime touch, Australia’s big title hope outclassed Belgian Kirsten Flipkens 6-2, 7-6 (8/6), in one hour and 33 minutes on Wednesday.

Flipkins had beaten Stosur before on grass, but it was obvious from the very first point that the Belgian would not cope with the Australian’s brutal, high-spinning groundstrokes on the European red dirt.
