14 June 2010Stosur back with a bang
French Open runner-up Sam Stosur bounced back from her disappointment of losing in Paris, her first grand slam final, by dismissing 18-year-old American teenager Melanie Oudin 6-4, 6-4.

Stosur' now faces former top 10 player Daniela Hantuchova, following the Slovak's comfortable win over London-based British wild card Anne Keothavong 6-4, 6-2. Ever-improving Hantuchova finished runner-up at Eastbourne 2004.
Former Wimbledon runner-up Marion Bartoli, who has reached the semi-final stage at Devonshire Park for the past three seasons, steamed on with a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Vera Dushevina. The Russian finished runner-up at Eastbourne 2005.
French ace Bartoli next meets Hungarian Agnes Szavay in the round of 16, who struggled to see off Belarussian Olga Govortsova 3-6, 6-2, 7-6
Czech star Lucie Safarova held off Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the battle of the babes on Court 4 with a thrilling 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 triumph,
And Russian Vera Zvonareva put up a brave fight before bowing out 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 to Spain's Maria-Jose Martinez Sanchez.
