Oh, Sam

So great to see Sam Stosur end her nearly two-year title drought, beating top-seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 6-3 to take home the title in Carlsbad. Stosur had lost all of her previous eight matches against Azarenka, winning only two sets. The title was Stosur's third in her career and the first since she won her only major, the 2011 U.S. Open. ''I think this is a huge boost for me,'' Stosur said. ''I haven't had great results for really all year, so to be able to bounce back and come away with this is really exciting and a good boost going into the last slam of the year.'' I don't know what to make of this one. She's so enormously talented, yet she's a bigger head case than Hana Mandlikova and Svetlana Kuznetsova put together. Would love to see her capitalize on this.
