New York, USA, 2 September 2012 | tennis.com.au

Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Stosur will look to keep their 2012 US Open campaigns on track when they play their respective matches on Louis Armstrong Stadium on Sunday.

Hewitt will kick off proceedings on Flushing Meadows’ second-biggest court when he takes on Spanish No.4 seed David Ferrer, who represents a tough third round assignment for the 31-year-old wildcard.

Yet Hewitt says he’s looking forward to taking on the 2007 US Open semifinalist, having gained in confidence after a gritty five-set win over Gilles Muller of Luxembourg.

Stosur will follow Hewitt onto Armstrong later in the day, playing her fourth round match against British upstart Laura Robson.

The 18-year-old Robson has eliminated two of the biggest names in the women’s draw in Kim Clijsters and Li Na, and will be looking to make it a three-peat against the defending US Open champion.

However Stosur, who has come through all her matches in New York in straight sets thus far, believes her third round match against left-hander Varvara Lepchenko has equipped her well to take on the British southpaw.
