Luxembourg R1: Sabine Lisicki def. Sophia Arvidsson 2:6 6:3 6:4

nice fight Sabine :yeah:

12 aces :eek:, but 7 double faults :help: ;)

good luck in the next round

Lisicki was down 26 13*. When she lost her break advantage early in the third and Arvidsson went up 62 36 43* I thought it may be lights out, but Sofia clearly needs more match play before she's entirely sorted out. She didn't even lose serve until 62 31 after holding several game points in that particular game.

Disappointing, as I find myself liking her more and more, but Lisicki is pretty good, bar the second serve.

Sabine :rocker2: :yeah:

great comeback Sabine ;) :yeah: :D

12 aces :eek:, but 7 double faults :help: ;)

13 aces. ;)
She serve an ace on matchpoint.

It´s good to see that she wins such matches right now :)
13 aces are :drool: and 7 df´s are "normal" for her :tape:

Great comeback :)

Sofia..:o I'm really disappointing...:sad: :o :o

Nice fight, Sabine :woohoo:

Awww to bad sofia, thought you had a great chance there! U need to be more confidence when u are closing matches.

:(

Sabine:worship: :yeah:

Good win for Sabine! :)

Totally expected it. Left at 62 *3-1 for Sofia, 90% sure she'd have lost when I'm back.

The game is there, she just need a proper psychologist to help her stay focused for the whole match.

Sabine :yeah: :D

Sabine :yeah:

Sofia :sad:

well done Sabine :yeah:

sabine the fighter:worship:who does she play next?

Sabine is probably the "dumbest" player!
She just makes every shot a power shot like Vaidisova. She made the worst mistakes I have ever seen. Some of her shots landed like 5 meters behind the baseline.
Of course she had impressive winners because she won the match in the end

Sabine was lucky Sofia put her into the match with some bad mistakes. Sofia is particularely slow too

So you have seen her not that often ;). She can play very well and I don´t think that she is a dumb player. Than you haven´t seen really worse players. There are more worse players ranked much higher than Lisicki.

5 metres behind the baseline :lol:, doesn´t matter because she won :)

:bowdown: Bine

Sabine :woohoo:

great fight Sabine :)

Sometimes Sabine is really stupid, but I think that almost every woman on the tour plays dumb sometiemes, Sabine maybe more than others..but she is only 19yo and she can play very intelligent, I have seen some of her matches :)

Sofia :(

wow, lisicki, sometimes it's all coming together. finally.

Sabine :D Great win.

Land mines at the net again for Sofia? and you spelt her name wrong in the title

good fight Sabine!
