Francesca Schiavone has crushed Australia’s dream of making it to the semifinals of the Fed Cup. Schiavone won against Australia’s number one player Samantha Stosur, 7-6, 3-6, 7-5.

Sam Stosur was disappointed with the loss today,”It’s obviously disappointing to come here and lose tow matches especially when they are so tight like that.”

Australia’s Jarmila Groth went down in the reverse singles, 6-3, 6-2 to Italy’s Flavia Pennetta.
