Stosur upset in opening Hopman Cup match

Australia's Hopman Cup campaign got off to a bad start with Romania's Sorana Cirstea
upsetting world No.13 Sam Stosur in the opening match on Saturday.
Cirstea lost the opening set before rebounding to win 3-6 6-4 6-3, coming from a
break down in the final set.

Lleyton Hewitt will need to beat Victor Hanescu in the men's singles in order to
keep the tie alive.
"I wasn't in good shape at the beginning but then it got better and better," world
No.45 Cirstea said.
"After I won the second set and she broke me in the first game of the third set, I
was like 'OK, not again.
"At one point I said I have nothing to lose, I'm the one coming from behind and I
definitely enjoyed it.
"Playing Sam, I've never beaten her before and she's a very good player and playing
in front of this crowd, I said I just have to go out there and enjoy it."
Stosur took the first set in 30 minutes but a double fault in the 10th game of the
second handed 19-year-old Cirstea the set.
The Queenslander broke Cirstea in the opening game of the deciding set but the
Romanian bravely fought back, breaking the Australian twice to set up a 5-3 lead.
Stosur staved off one of two match points but sent a forehand long to hand Cirstea
the match and give Romania a 1-0 lead.
