MELBOURNE : Sam Stosur's 69th and final appearance in a Grand Slam singles draw ended in a 6-2 6-2 second-round loss to 10th seeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at the Australian Open on Thursday.

The former U.S. Open champion had recovered from a set down for a rousing victory in her opening contest at Melbourne Park on Tuesday but there was to be no repeat on Kia Arena. For a long time the player most likely to end Australia's now 44-year wait for a homegrown women's champion, the former world number four reached the fourth round at Melbourne Park twice.

"I've done more than I ever thought was possible," she said."To do what I dreamed of doing as a little kid was phenomenal and I couldn't ask for any more.Pavlyuchenkova, three times a Melbourne Park quarter-finallist, powered down 13 winners in the opening set and eight more in the second to set up a third round tie against Sorana Cirstea.
