Why she might be annoying:

    STOH-zer.
    A flood destroyed her family house and business on the Gold Coast, forcing them to move to Adelaide.
    ‘When you don’t hang around with Aussies a lot, you realize that people don’t joke around as much as we do.’
    Eliminated in the first round of the US Open, following Wimbledon 2007, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease and viral meningitis.
    Following her Grand Slam singles win – the first by an Australian in 31 years – she had to suffer the indignity of her opponent’s temper tantrums.
    She is a fan of Grey’s Anatomy.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She received her first racquet as a Christmas gift, at age eight.
    Because her parents worked their café full time, her older brother was drafted to bring her to tennis lessons.
    She called her best day watching Monica Seles and Steffi Graf duke it out at the Australian Open final (1993).
    ‘I’ll wear anything but, as I’m quite muscly, please don’t put me into any slinky dresses that make me look like a beast.’
    She is a fan of Seinfeld.
