Sam Stosur becomes first Australian to win the Family Circle Cup.

Samantha Stosur won the biggest tournament of her career on Sunday afternoon, beating Vera Zvonareva 6-0, 6-3 in the final of the Family Circle Cup.  This is Stosur's 2nd career WTA title.

Stosur took control of the match early, taking the first set 6-0, and getting out to a 3-0 lead in the second set.  Down 3-0 Zvonareva showed her more "psychotic" side, whacking her racket on the ground 4 times until the frame was busted in three spots.  That was not enough though, walking back to her chair to get a new racket she threw her racquet at her chair and when it fell to the ground gave it a soccer kick off the court.  Blowing off that steam helped Zvonareva get back in to the match, but it was too little, too late.  Stosur ended up putting the match away in a record 52 minutes.

Stosur had this to say about her win:  "To be able to play that well in a final is a great feeling. You always hope you'll do that, but to actually go and perform that way is very, very pleasing," said Stosur, who has now beaten Zvonareva five straight times. "Vera and I played a few weeks ago in Indian Wells and I was able to do it there too. Obviously I wasn't taking anything for granted here, and I definitely had to play well."

After the match, and a little cooling off Zvonareva was in a better mental state saying, "Right now I'm a little bit disappointed about the match. Overall I think it's a good start to the clay court season though," Zvonareva said. "It was my first clay court tournament in about two years, so I should be happy. Hopefully I can keep improving my game and play well the rest of the clay court season.
