Henin upsets Stosur at French Open

Sam Stosur ended Justine Henin's hopes for a comeback victory at the French Open, converting her second match point today for a 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory in the fourth round.



Needing one point to secure the upset win, Stosur wavered, hitting a double-fault.



The Australian took a deep breath and tried again. This time she launched a confident serve into the corner, setting her up for an overhead slam to seal the biggest victory of her career.



Stosur ended the four-time French Open champion's streak of 24 consecutive victories at Roland Garros. Stosur's opponent in the quarterfinals will be top-ranked Serena Williams, who beat Shahar Peer 6-2, 6-2.



Number 3 seed Novak Djokovic eliminated the last American in the men's draw, beating Robby Ginepri 6-4, 2-6, 6-1, 6-2.



Djokovic's next opponent will be Number 22 Jurgen Melzer, a first-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist playing in his 32nd major event. The Austrian advanced by beating qualifier Teimuraz Gabashvili 7-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.
