Stosur to end singles career at Australian Open

The Hindu  

Sam Stosur will call time on her singles career at next month's Australian Open, though she will continue to play doubles in 2022, the 37-year-old said on Wednesday. "It really means a lot to me to be able to finish in front of my family, friends and Aussie fans who have stuck by me through thick and thin," Stosur, a former U.S. Open champion, said on social media. Tennis Australia said in a statement it would be Stosur's 69th Grand Slam singles appearance in total - a record for an Australian player and the sixth most for any woman in history. Stosur has enjoyed greater success while partnering with other players, winning four Grand Slams in women's doubles and three in mixed doubles.
