Jalena Jankovic vs Samantha Stosur: Porsche Tennis Grand Prix Match Preview

Former US Open champion Samantha Stosur is all set to battle former World No.1 Jalena Jankovic, in what promises to be an intriguing contest between the two accomplished players.
Australian Samantha Stosur will be in action today as she battles former World No.1 Jalena Jankovic from Serbia in the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix being played here in Stuttgart.
The Australian - Samantha Stosur has struggled all year long. Her performance at the Australian Open was rather disappointing and even in the tournaments preceding the Slam she struggled to put in any form of consistent performances.
But something that might just work in the favour of the former US Open Champion is the fact that the courts here in Stuttgart are slower and her kick serve could really hurt the Serbian, who isn’t the best mover on the court.
Having failed to win a title in the WTA circuit for over two years, the Jalena Jankovic has seen her ranking plummet to the mid-twenties. Also, considering her age that is rapidly achieving that 30 mark, one cannot see Jankovic reaching the anywhere close to the top of the ATP mountain now.
Jankovic did however win a title recently winning the Copa Colsanitas in February and played a highly impressive US hard court season where she reached the semis in Miami and then also did well in the Family Circle Cup in Charleston.
Head to Head: The Serb has a 5-2 lead over the Australian in their head to head series, but their only match on the red dirt resulted in a lopsided win for Stosur
