Tennis Great Sam Stosur Ends Long-Running Singles Career

Having made it to the second round in her 20th Australian Open campaign now sees Stosur equal Lleyton Hewitt’s record for most Australian Open appearances. It’s a testament to her drive, cementing her status as one of the greats of Australian tennis. Stosur spent 441 consecutive weeks between 2008 and 2017 as the top-ranked Australian singles player of either gender, and was a fixture in the world’s top 25 for nine consecutive years.
