Sabine Lisicki appreciation society

I appreciate many things about the lovely Sabine

Sabine through to round 3 where she will meet Ana Ivanovic. A mouth watering prospect.

a sandwich made in heaven

signing in for annual punishment, go Sabine!

if Ana wins this she will go deep

Yes, nice to see someone smile & enjoy their sport

Ana is a big favorite for Saturday's clash @ 1.54. (Sabine @ 2.82) I think this match rests on Sabine's serve which needs to improve a bit. Sabine still available @ 25s in the overall market. That price will crash if she pulls off a shock on Saturday.

Sabine

don't get the love at all for her, one of my least favourite players

well you suck

That's ok with me

Ivanovic last 6 years at Wimbledon, reached the 4th round twice, out by the 3rd round other four

Lisicki, last 4 attempts, QF-SF-QF-Final

One player is 1.55..... the other 2.78. Betting all wrong here imo, Ivanovic hates Wimbledon, Lisicki's only tournament of the year

Agree Pedro. You would have to be mad to back Ana at those odds.

Ana winning her 1st tournie on grass in prep, best form probably since her RG win, while Lisicki has an awful season with injuries and other problems (not to mention how mad you must be to chose Pocher as boy friend)

Oh I agree she's as mad as a box of frogs, but very dangerous at Wimbledon.

no doubt this match should have been scheduled on cc

Don't fret. At least it's on No1 court.

It's based on form though. Judging Ivanovic's Wimbledon form is tough because she is overall playing better than all those previous years.

Lisicki's form is non-existent. Yes it's often been like this, but this year it has been even worse than normal.

I still think Ivanovic is average on grass. Lisicki can take her, but Lisicki really hasn't looked that good in the first 2 rounds.

If there is any value it probably does lie with Lisicki. Think I'll wait to see how it starts first though.

When is Lisicki supposed to be playing this match today or tomorrow?

Depends on the rain situation.

Definately not tomorrow but could be Monday

have absolutely lumped on

Lisicki's thighs....wow

I know, they're awesome.

Shame the players had to come off for bad light. Still my overall bet lives on until Monday and this half of the draw is now slightly easier with Serena's exit today.

Go Sabine. Hit Ana with some bullets in that final set. Playing again tomorrow. The dream lives on.

really like lisicki... cute girl bit mental always smiling... what's not to love?

great final set from Lisicki, virtually unstoppable on grass when she holds it together.

Womens standard improving fast imo, any of the top half of the draw could win this, Sharapova, Bouchard, Lisicki, Halep, the Czech girl, Strycova, who knocked out Wozniacki this morning would not be a complete shock, has a good grass game.

But go Sabine, would be great to see her get compensation for 2013

Strycova would be one of the biggest shocks ever if she won wimbledon... hopefully somebody will knock out the german ball basher soon

Sabine doesn't need anyone to knock her out, can self-combust at any moment

But if holds her nerve, can beat anyone on grass

Lisicki seems to play in spurts, sometimes unstoppable then eratic. Definitely a contender if keeping herself from the sudden drops in matches

Sabine can beat anyone on grass but tends to get too emotional when the stakes are high. In last years final she wanted to win too much imo. She was actually in tears during the match at one point. If she can keep her emotions in check, she could win Wimbledon.

Let's hope she has the same attitude in the 3rd set like yesterday

Not serving like this she can't.

switching to stan, cannot watch masha and fed

She's struggling here, not sure she'll get through this one never mind the final.

Boo hoo, Sabine looks broken.

Lisicki getting a massage on the Red Button. Normally have to pay to watch this sort of thing.

That's got to hurt shvedova. I doubt she'll recover mentally from that one.

Be interesting to hear the interview with Lisicki how bad shoulder has been in this match, plenty double faults and timid serving sometimes

cheatsicki

The Queen of wimbledon manages to play through injury to victory Think she will have to give up her serve in future matches, as its hampering her title bid.

20 double faults and she still finds a way to win. If she serves like that against Halep she'll be blown off court.

Did anyone see the interview with Sabine yet about injury ?

my girl lisicki's through again

Sorry to report I've greened out due to Sabine's shoulder injury. Bottle job I'm afraid.

Sabine Got a feeling she's out next round though. Bloody hope not.

hope so

has she got any chance today?

hopefully not, with a bit of luck she is sent packing today and no more of that fake smile

this is the appreciation thread, fook off

No

You could tell from yesterday's match that all was not ok with Lisicki. The market this morning got it dead right when she drifted out to 19s for the overall. Nevermind there's always next year.

might be unseeded next year, 17-32 at best

Did the taps come on again as the inevitable approached?

ELEVEN games lost on the spin - enough to make the eyes water.

No. No tears today. I don't think she expected to win.

I think she might do a Goran.

i.e. Manage a couple more runs to the final (bottling each one), making no impression on the other slams, drifting into wild card territory and finally nailing one Wimbledon just before she turns 30.

will never win a slam

she needs a new coach to sort her head out. I would happily make myself available.....

seems to be the body as well as her head

Sad capitulation. Halep was there for the taking. Lisicki seemed to be fraught with nerves, very neurotic the way she played. All it needed was a bit more patience and composure.
