Samantha Stosur admits that there is extra motivation to achieve success at the Australian Open.

Samantha Stosur has revealed that she is desperate to achieve success at the Australian Open after starting her campaign with a comfortable victory.

A 6-4 6-1 triumph over Monica Niculescu ensured that the 20th seed did not join the list of high-profile players to exit the tournament at the first stage, and the 30-year-old admits that she feels the pressure to put together a strong challenge in front of her fellow Australians.

"I would love to do well here. I guess having the results I've had in other Slams I proved to myself that I can go deep in these tournaments and play well and beat a lot of the best players in the world. So I think that's obviously a good thing to know," Stosur, who won the US Open in 2011, told reporters.

"It doesn't necessarily help me much today when I go out and play my first round. But, look, the possibilities are there. Obviously I want to try and do as best I can here in Australia. If I can get results like that here like I have overseas, then, yeah, I would walk away leaving Melbourne pretty happy."

Stosur has never been past the fourth round at the Australian Open.
