Lisicki looking to upset Kuz.
by bahamaderek on Jun.25, 2009, under Sabine Lisicki, Svetlana Kuznetsova
Sabine Lisicki scored a comfortable win over Patricia Mayr of Austria in the 2nd round at Wimbledon. Sabine won 6-2 6-4 in 1 hour and 17 minutes. Sabine’s serve was a key to winning the match as whenever she got her first serve in she won the point 96% of the time and also Sabine had 9 aces.
Sabine will be playing for a place in the 4th round on Saturday, and she will be playing Roland Garros champion Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia. They have never played before.
Svetlana has said often that she does not feel comfortable playing on grass, and her record backs up her claim. Lisicki however has the serve and game that suits the fast grass of wimbledon, so an upset win by the young German should not be a surprise.
