US Open 2013:
Women Singles 1st Round
Match:Victoria Duval vs Samantha Stosur
Result: Victoria Duval defeats Samantha Stosur
Score: 5-7, 6-4, 6-4
Duval, who was ranked 298th in the world and entered this year's US Open as a qualifier, was paired against No. 11 seed and former US Open champ Samantha Stosur in the first round. Stosur, her arms roped with muscle, had reached at least the quarterfinals in her past three Open appearances, winning it all in 2011. Duval, now 17, was playing in just the second Grand Slam match of her career.
But to the rhythmic chants of "USA!," Duval defeated Stosur 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 on the Louis Armstrong Stadium court in a match that took 2 hours, 39 minutes.
"I was really happy," Duval said in her high-pitched voice. "I mean, you can tell by all the jumping I did."
Twitter congratulations rained in -- which she couldn't even follow because she doesn't have an account of her own -- from tennis commentator Darren Cahill to New York Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire to rapper Lil Wayne.
