The 26th-seeded Australian, who reached the Roland Garros
final in 2010 and the last four on two other occasions, had way
too much power and pace for the 22-year-old wild card.
Hesse, the world number 272, was heading for a 'double bagel' at
6-0 5-0 but a crosscourt volley saved her from utter humiliation
on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
Stosur, who next faces either defending champion Maria Sharapova
or her Russian compatriot Vitalia Diatchenko, wrapped up the
contest in the following game with a forehand winner.
