I'm sure if we researched their family trees we'd find they're related. Quote Selected

Re: Stosur vs Sheik 2015 Reply #6 – January 19, 2015, 09:30:40 pm I agree that the body can be built however you want, if the space between the ears doesn't work properly you have no hope under pressure. Sheik by a country mile. Quote Selected
Re: Stosur vs Sheik 2015 Reply #7 – January 20, 2015, 09:29:48 am Yes Sheik has achieved as much as Stosur. No doubt she has issues in her mind but she's still won grand slam tournament. Been a while since an Aussie girl did that. Quote Selected

Re: Stosur vs Sheik 2015 Reply #14 – January 22, 2015, 01:50:40 pm Great guns... she has them. yes.Apparently she is over her previous nagging foot injury issues... will be interesting to see if it aligns in a turn (improve) in form or she continues to do a 'watto'...love the watto analogy too. brilliant.
