Sabine Lisicki There will be a post later tonight to preview tomorrow’s womens quarter-finals, but I just had to post something now as we saw the BIGGEST shock of this crazy 2013 Wimbledon tournament as Sabine Lisicki upset the world number one and defending champion, Serena Williams in a sensational 4th round match. It is…
1. Serena Williams v Sabine Lisicki Serena Williams Serena Williams will face her biggest test of the Championships so far against Sabine Lisicki. The former Wimbledon semi-finalist made a slow start to her third round match with Sam Stosur, but improved with each set to post a 4-6 6-2 6-1 win. Lisicki really struggled on…
1. Sabine Lisicki v Sam Stosur Sabine Lisicki During the first two rounds, you would be hard pushed to find anyone who played better than Sabine Lisicki. The 2011 Wimbledon semi-finalist blitzed past Francesca Schiavone, 6-1 6-2 in the first round and then lost just one more game to the Eastbourne champion, Elena Vesnina in…
I’m still shocked at Day 3, but here are my picks for Day 4… 1. Li Na v Simona Halep Li Na Li Na takes on the in-form Simona Halep in an enticing second round Wimbledon clash that has been shockingly carted out to court 3. Halep was having a pretty abysmal year up until…
Thursday’s order of play was interrupted with one of those frigging frustrating stop-start days. The remainder of the second round matches will kick off Friday’s proceedings, but the third round matches should also take place with a much better forecast… 1. Milos Raonic v Kevin Anderson Milos Raonic My match of the day is slightly…
Today was a real mixed bag of results; it was great to see Laura Robson defeat Venus Williams although the American is really struggling with a persistent back injury right now. The shock result of the day was Simona Halep thumping Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-1 6-1. I lost two womens quarter-finalists as Angelique Kerber also pulled…
1. Sabine Lisicki v Maria Sharapova Maria Sharapova Normally these two meet on a grass court, but Maria Sharapova and Sabine Lisicki will play each other for the first time on clay tomorrow in the third round of Madrid. Sharapova was delayed by the dramas of the Djokovic-Dimitrov match last night so was in no…
Today’s big news saw Laura Robson knock out the 4th seed, Aga Radwanska with a comprehensive 6-3 6-1 victory. It really is amazing how Laura can zone against the big players; what we need to see more of is backing up those wins against lower ranked players that she is expected to beat. Sam Stosur…
Tomorrow is truly a feast of excellent second round matches to look forward too in Stuttgart… 1. Jelena Jankovic v Sabine Lisicki Sabine Lisicki The highest seeded upset on day two saw the Jelena Jankovic from Miami and Charleston, turn up in Stuttgart too with a very solid 6-4 6-4 win over the number 6…
There is just one WTA International tournament this week in Katowice, Poland and it is a new tournament gracing the tour. Katowice is played on indoor clay, like Stuttgart and I am interested to see the main draw get underway as the venue looks impressive. Lets take a look at the draw… Sabine Lisicki Petra…
