Sport spokesperson for the Greens Senator Richard Di Natale joined fellow Australians in celebrating Samantha Stosur’s historic US Open win this morning.

“What a great start to the working week. Sam Stosur’s tenacity and determination on court was truly inspirational,” Senator Di Natale said.

“She stayed cool in the face of an outburst by Serena Williams and was able to comprehensively defeat her formidable opponent.”

“Her US Open win is a great addition to her impressive WTA career record.”
