She is doing incredibly well and has done a superb job to get this far. Beaten two established Major winners back to back...bring on Stosur!
Now lets entertain her possibilites of going further...
It's going to be tough...I wish her all the best...
but look at her draw
To win the US Open (I am not expecting her too, she's done v. well I just wat to show you the toughness of her draw) she'd likely have to beat Stosur, followed by Azarenka, followed by Sharapova, followed by Serenea Williams.
Her route would be:
R1- Crawford
2- Clijsters (23)
3- Li Na (9)
4- Stosur (7)
QF- Azarenka (1)
SF- Sharapova (3)
F- Williams (2)
SO she'd have to beat 5 top 10 seeds plus four time major winner Clijsters.
In total her route consists of opponents with 25 Majors between them (Williams 14, Sharapova 4, Clisjters 4, Li Na 1, Azarenka 1, Stosur 1)....
pretty tough draw eh?

Yep really tough draw, but no expectations now, she has nothing to lose and the top guns won't want to face her (she's already scared the life out of sharapova).

Really really well!
Thought she was fantastic against KC. Was actually hitting through her. Held her nerve well to wrap up the game. Unfortunatley didnt see her Li Na game. Looking forward to her next game though. Stosur should be interesting? Can she go further, i reckon she can!!!!
