Schiavone: Pressure telling on Stosur

ITALIAN Francesca Schiavone thinks Sam Stosur is struggling to handle the pressure of public expectation ahead of the Australian Open.

Schiavone bundled the Australian out of the Sydney International yesterday with a 6-2, 6-4 victory in one hour and 28 minutes.

"I think it's not easy for her to play here in Australia," Schiavone said. "I think to play at home, when you love it, it is tough to do."

The Italian was sure Stosur was tough enough to rebound at Melbourne Park next week. "She has another chance and the bigger chance is the Australian Open. She has big power and the big shoulders to do it."
