Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the final WTA Championship match of the day as Sam Stosur faces Sara Errani in the White Group.

STOSUR 3-6 6-2 0-6 – GAME SET MATCH – Stosur finally strings a couple of points together at the start of a came but Errani pulls one back with a well timed jump to smash into open court. A lovely dinked crosscourt forehand gets Errani on terms at 30-30 and a netted Stosur backhand brings up match point. Stosur shows Aussie grit to save with that backhand up the line but misses as she goes for the repeat. A double fault hands Errani the win and Stosur really has capitulated in this set.

STOSUR 3-6 6-2 0-5 – Errani opens with an ace but Stosur finds another backhand winner up the line, one of her more consistent shots today. She follows it with another long forehand but a backhand winner gives Errani two game points. Stosur saves the first with an angry forehand winner and follows it up with that familiar backhand up the line. A lovely crosscourt pass gives Errani another game point but again Stosur hangs tough with a backhand winner. Errani finally holds after Stosur again nets

STOSUR 3-6 6-2 0-4 – BREAK – The unforced errors continue to flow from the Stosur racket and an amazing double fault follows, coming straight off the top of the Australian’s racket and into the crowd. Another error follows in this most mystifying performance from Stosur to concede three break points but she at last finds a winner to save the first. The Aussie digs deep to save the second after a long exchange but nets and that’s the double break.

STOSUR 3-6 6-2 0-3 – Stosur wobbling now and makes successive errors on the backhand side. Errani nets a backhand of her own but Stosur throws back her head after missing successive forehands as the Italian holds.

STOSUR 3-6 6-2 0-2 – BREAK – The players exchange successive forehand errors and an unforced Stosur backhand error into the net gives Errani the initiative at 15-30. A forehand error follows to give the Italian two break points and Stosur inexplicably misses a midcourt smash despite letting it bounce. Advantage Errani.

STOSUR 3-6 6-2 0-1 – Stosur with the momentum but she fires a backhand horribly wide on the opening point. Errani repays the compliment off the same wing then gets away with a netted Stosur volley before slicing wide. The Italian slices well wide and is statuesque to a blazing Stosur forehand winner to go break point down. But the Aussie misses an easy forehand and a scream of ‘come on’ accompanies an Errani backhand winner for the game.

STOSUR 3-6 6-2 – SET – Errani tries a different tactic with a looping moon ball but it drifts just long. The Italian then nets but a neat drop shot forces a Stosur error but another backhand winner up the line earns two set points. Errani saves the first but Stosur takes it to a decider with another backhand winner.

WINNERS: Stosur 32 – 10 Errani

STOSUR 3-6 5-2 – Stosur nets on the opening two points but Errani slices wide before the Aussie finds a lovely backhand winner on the half volley. A good wide serve gives Errani game point but Stosur thumps another forehand winner, determined to serve first in the decider. Successive winners from the Errani racket force Stosur to serve it out with new balls.

STOSUR 3-6 5-1 – A neat drop volley gets Stosur off and running and Errani then nets and hits wide as the Aussie races to 40-0. Errani nets and Stosur is a game away from taking it to a decider.

STOSUR 3-6 4-1 – BREAK – Stosur draws Errani into the net before whipping a forehand across her. Errani hits a backhand wide to put herself under further pressure. Stosur misses a makeable backhand but responds with another forehand winner. She hits long on the first break point but takes a grip on the set after chasing down a drop shot. That’s the double break.

STOSUR 3-6 3-1 – A solid return rushes Stosur into an error on her backhand but Errani follows up with a backhand error of her own. Another forehand winner moves Stosur further ahead but the inconsistency continues as she throws in another double before yelling in frustration. It seems to do the trick and a backhand winner and smash seals the game.

STOSUR 3-6 2-1 – BREAK – Stosur continues to go all out for her shots and it’s too much for the scurrying Errani and she secures the break to love with an array of winners off either wing. Three successive breaks and no pattern emerging at all here!

STOSUR 3-6 1-1 – BREAK – Errani is caught in no man’s land after failing to follow in her lob quickly enough and Stosur then rifles another forehand crosscourt. The Aussie then infuriatingly nets successive forehands and hits long to concede break point and a wonderful dropshot secures Errani the break back.

STOSUR 3-6 1-0 – BREAK – Stosur opens the second set with another of those inside out forehand winners but keeps up her inconsistency with a netted backhand and wide forehand. Successive winners from either wing suddenly earn Stosur break point and she completes the job with a forehand that catches the line.

STOSUR 3-6 – SET – A superb sliced drop shot gets Errani off and running but Stosur responds with a big serve. The Australian twice hits long wide on the forehand side to concede two set points but two loose Errani shots pulls her back to deuce. Struggling for consistency, Stosur again hits long but digs deep to find a good first serve but throws in a third double before netting a volley. Another Stosur forehand winner restores parity but she again nets and concedes the set with a double fault.

STOSUR 3-5 – Errani nets on the opening point but Stosur uncharacteristically fails to cash in on a short second serve on her forehand. She has no problem on the next, whipping an angled forehand back behind the Italian. An ace gets Errani to game point but Stosur saves with another whipped forehand into empty court. But the Australian can’t seem to string two points together and hits long before netting.

STOSUR 3-4 – BREAK – Stosur rifles a backhand up the line to get off and running in the opening game and Errani then nets before responding with a fist pump after an identical backhand of her own up the line. For once, Stosur hits one of her trademark inside out forehands wide and she then nets and hits long to concede the break.

STOSUR 3-3 – Stosur charges the net but her volley drifts out on the opening point and she then hits long. Another backhand does find the mark but two more winners off the Errani racket and the game is back on serve again.

STOSUR 3-2 – Errani opens with a solid return but a huge forehand gets Stosur on terms. She misses with another and then hits long as Errani pumps her fist after some dogged retrieving that brings two break points. Stosur saves the first with another forehand winner and cuts off a pass with a backhand volley on the next. Another double fault concedes break point but she redeems herself with a big kick serve. Errani nets and Stosur holds with an ace.
