Australian Stosur claims first Grand Slam with 6-2, 6-3 victory over three-time champion at Flushing Meadows

NEW YORK - Samantha Stosur never stopped believing she could join the ranks of Australian tennis greats with a Grand Slam singles title, but even she didn't expect it to be so easy against the most dominant player of her generation.

Stosur displayed power and poise as she swept aside 13-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams on Sunday, shrugging off an angry outburst from the American in the second set to put her name alongside such legends as Margaret Court and Evonne Goolagong.
