In the past couple of years, Grand Slam semi-finals in the ladies draw have always disappointed me. 2013 was a particularly poor year with 6 out of the 8 being decided in straight sets. The only 2 to go the distance this year were Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova at the French Open, and Agnieszka…
Number 7 in my list goes to one of the biggest shocks of the season when Serena Williams met Sabine Lisicki in the 4th round of Wimbledon. Heading up the Magic Monday schedule on Centre Court on arguably the best tennis day of the year, Serena was set for her toughest test yet against a…
There are too many tournaments this week! Today’s predictions were pretty poor on the most part so let’s try and improve for Saturday. Here goes with another day of previews… 1. Caroline Wozniacki v Sabine Lisicki (Luxembourg, SF) Sabine Lisicki The Luxembourg draw is severely skewed with one semi-final offering up 2 top 15 players…
This year’s Beijing has gone remarkably with the seeding as 10 out of 12 seeds so far have progressed into the 3rd round, which is quite some result so close to the end of the season. 1. Agnieszka Radwanska v Madison Keys (Beijing, R2) Aga Radwanska A three set victory over Stefanie Voegele was not…
A cracking schedule for tomorrow, but unfortunately some great matches including Sloane-Bouchard will be on untelevised courts… 1. Venus Williams v Sabine Lisicki Sabine Lisicki Two players that have had their greatest successes at Wimbledon will square off in a blockbuster second round clash in Beijing. Venus Williams had a bye in the first round…
US Open qualifying is underway and the draws will be out on Thursday evening (5pm UK time). I am not really that interested in New Haven or Winston-Salem, but there are some good potential match-ups for the women. Let’s take a look at the best of the 2nd rounders… 1. Sabine Lisicki v Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova…
Well done Marion! Marion Bartoli won her first Grand Slam title with a 6-1 6-4 triumph over Sabine Lisicki in the 2013 Wimbledon womens title. Firstly, what a performance from Bartoli. She has played a terrific tournament and did not a drop a set through the whole two weeks. She played a solid, consistent match…
Marion Bartoli Thursday’s semi-finals could not have been any different from each other, but it was Marion Bartoli and Sabine Lisicki who came through to set up a fascinating final showpiece for Wimbledon 2013. Lisicki played out the match of the women’s tournament so far in a gripping semi-final where she beat Agnieszka Radwanska, 6-4…
Agnieszka Radwanska v Sabine Lisicki A.Radwanska This tournament has seen an incredible amount of shocks, but the giant-killers on the most part have not been able to back it up. Sabine Lisicki did not fall into that category as she followed up her fantastic win over Serena with a straight sets triumph against Kaia Kanepi,…
1.Sabine Lisicki v Kaia Kanepi Sabine Lisicki Wow… I wrote in my preview yesterday that Sabine Lisicki was one of the few players who I felt had the belief to challenge Serena and boy did she show that today. Lisicki produced a sensational performance to come from a break down in the third set to…
