How to sum up this match? :oh:

Erratic from both (with Naomi a bit worse) until 6-4 and 5-3 for Sabine. Then Naomi managed to raise her game (saving two match points on the way), and Sabine probably got nervous a bit (especially on her serve to close the match), but there were some very good rallies at the end of the second set, especially at 5-5.

Look for the point at 6-4 5-5 0-15.

At the start of the third set Naomi kept her momentum for a 3-0 lead.

Sabine called the MTO for her right shoulder and then tried to play more aggressively and managed to win a few games, but Naomi kept her focus and closed the match on her own serve.

Not even Sabs imploding can ruin my day.

Naomi is awright, so congrats to her. Seems like she's playing a bit better recently.

Naomi is a different player indoors, even her groundstrokes technique is bearable. This is a big win for her.

Mixed feelings, happy for Naomi, and it's great to see 2 Brits in a WTA main draw QF, but Lisicki is my favourite player and given her ranking, probably needed the victory more.

But 2 Brits and Carina in a quarter final and none of them playing each other - I'd certainly have taken that at the start of the tournament.

2 Brits into a WTA quarterfinal - this is rare so I’m happy. If we had a proper indoor season Naomi would probably have ended this year top 100 - she’s playing in the wrong era!

Why Sabine played so little after Majorca? :confused:

Naomi, Good Girl, Naomi (too many Quali matches) far from Best Form, but for Lisicki this is sufficient,
after this verly lucky 1st round win, Lisicki had thick legs ("dicke Beine") in the truest sense of the word,
Compared to Lisicki, Bencic or even Towsend look like careworn, haggard peaky ascetics.
Never saw such legs of a sports athlete (perhaps Townsend bit similar).
I want to know from the Tournament Director of Lux, how many Appearance Fee the "german Special Trio" Petkovic, Lisicki
and Kerber were paid for this extremly listless (bockless, "bocklos") performances.
Naomi had only 9 aces, is too good to play such Qualis where she had to win 3 matches.
And was Lisicki' father in the crowd, not sure, where does this guy live and work ?, he reminds me of Peter Haas,
Real Profession always was and is Dad.
And for Lisicki and Bouchard: If a World Company split (when was it ? 2 years ago) from you, and don't want to make money with you,
you better retire as soon as possible.
And just 1 question: What was the Leg injury Lisicki referred to, conrete ? Right or Left Leg ?
