From Sam her website: Stosur is the sole Australian woman competing in the event starting on Monday, the final tune-up event before Wimbledon kicks off on 24 June. She has drawn a tough assignment in the form of eighth seed Nadia Petrova in the first round. Stosur, 29, was unsure whether she would play in any Wimbledon lead-up events but she’s opted to have a hit-out going into her least-favoured major, where she has progressed past the first round only once, in 2009. “It’s certainly a challenge going onto the grass for me,” she said. “It’s never been a great time of the year for me so far but it’s another opportunity to turn that around.” Stosur’s third round defeat at the French Open meant she dropped out of the world’s top 10 for the first time in more than three years to No.14.
