Well, Samantha Stosur is a great player as she possess a great serve and forehand, she really can hit some amazing winners but when it comes to those defensive qualities together with the return then the situation changes a lot. Samantha Stosur's return is one of her weak points and her backhand as well, so these two qualities are the base and the most important ones when it comes to dominate the opponent in a stable way indeed. Samantha lacks these qualities and IMO in a such situation there are no really serious reasons for why to offer such a huge line handicap.
On the other hand Christina McHale is a new young talented player who is a litter bit underrated here as she is not well known for the good results, but on the court she did impressed, I remember the tournament from Charleston of this year (on clay), then Christina has played some nice and decent tennis. Of course that Stosur is the big favourite in this one and there are no doubts about that but as long as you have a still not stablebackhand and return the opponent can use that and force you into errors, thing that what I'm waiting for in this one. Good Luck!
