Happy vibes inspiring Stosur in Paris

Sam Stosur is ready for a French Open third round showdown with Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

Paris, France, 2 June 2017 | Darren Walton, AAP

Sam Stosur is drawing on a decade of happy Paris vibes as inspiration for yet another French Open title charge.

Former champion Svetlana Kuznetsova and one-time finalist Venus Williams are the only players left in the wide open women’s singles draw boasting more wins than Stosur at Roland Garros after Australia’s perennial contender charged into the third round for the ninth straight year.

While refusing to look beyond her match tonight against American qualifier Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Stosur – a four-time semifinalist and 2010 runner-up – admits her excellent record at the claycourt showpiece continues to drive her bid for an elusive second Grand Slam crown.

Kyrgios bows out of French Open

Nick Kyrgios beaten by Kevin Anderson in Roland Garros second round.

Paris, France, 2 June 2017 | Darren Walton, AAP

Grief-stricken Nick Kyrgios has conceded his French Open hopes were all but cooked when his grandfather died in April.
