This is a list of the main career statistics of professional Australian tennis player, Samantha Stosur. To date, Stosur has won eight WTA singles titles including one Grand Slam singles title at the 2011 US Open. She was also the runner-up at the 2010 French Open and a semi-finalist at the 2010 and 2011 WTA Tour Championships. Stosur has also enjoyed a successful doubles career, in which she has held the World No. 1 ranking and won twenty-four WTA doubles titles including two grand slam women's doubles titles at the 2005 US Open and 2006 French Open and two year-ending championships at the 2005 and 2006 WTA Tour Championships.

Career achievements

In 2005, Stosur won her first grand slam title at the Australian Open, winning the mixed doubles event with her compatriot, Scott Draper.^[1] During the same year, she won her first grand slam doubles title with Lisa Raymond, defeating Elena Dementieva and Flavia Pennetta in three sets in the final of the US Open.^[2] The following year, Stosur became the World No. 1 in doubles after winning the 2006 Toray Pan Pacific Open with Raymond.^[3] She continued to enjoy success with Raymond throughout the year, winning the French Open^[4] and successfully defending their title at the year-ending WTA Tour Championships.^[5] With these achievements, Stosur finished the year as the World No. 1 in doubles for the first (and thus far only) time in her career.

Stosur's breakthrough came at the 2009 French Open, where she reached her first grand slam semifinal in singles, defeating World No. 4 Elena Dementieva^[6] en route before losing to the eventual champion, Svetlana Kuznetsova in three sets.^[7] Following this event, Stosur cracked the top 20 of the WTA rankings for the first time in her career. In October, she won her first WTA singles title at the HP Open, defeating Francesca Schiavone, 7–5, 6–1 in the final.^[8]

In January 2010, Stosur progressed to the fourth round of the Australian Open for the second time in her career.^[9] In March, she reached the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open, defeating defending champion, Vera Zvonareva,^[10] en route before losing in straight sets to the eventual champion, Jelena Janković.^[11] Following this event, Stosur cracked the top 10 of the WTA Rankings for the first time in her career. At the Family Circle Cup, Stosur won her first Premier singles title by crushing seventh seed Vera Zvonareva, 6–0, 6–3 in the final.^[12] She reached her second consecutive singles final at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix but lost in three sets to Justine Henin.^[13] At the French Open, Stosur defeated Henin, 2–6, 6–1, 6–4,^[14] World No. 1 Serena Williams, 6–2, 6–7(2), 8–6 (saving a match point in the final set)^[15] and former World No. 1 Jelena Janković, 6–1, 6–2 en route to her first grand slam singles final.^[16] Later that year, she reached her first quarterfinal at the US Open but lost in three sets to the eventual champion, Kim Clijsters.^[17] As a result of her success during the year, she qualified for the year-ending WTA Tour Championships for the first time in her career. She finished as the top-ranked player in her group during the round-robin stage and eventually lost in the semifinals to the eventual champion and World No. 3 Kim Clijsters.^[18] Stosur finished the year as the World No. 6, which remains her best finish to date.

In February 2011, Stosur achieved a career high singles ranking of World No. 4 following a quarterfinal appearance at the Dubai Tennis Championships.^[19] She then reached two Premier 5 finals in Rome^[20] and Toronto^[21] before winning her maiden grand slam singles title at the US Open, defeating Serena Williams, 6–2, 6–3 in the final.^[22] She finished the year with a semifinal appearance at the year-ending WTA Tour Championships, losing to the eventual champion Petra Kvitová in three sets.^[23]
