Dubai

Sabine drew a qualifier in R1 :bounce:
If she wins, Venus in R2 :scared:

Venus Williams vs bye
Lisicki vs Q
Benesova vs Govoertsova
Cirstea vs Schiavona
Stosur vs Garbin
Srebotnik vs Pavlyuchenkova
Hantuchova vs Q
Dementieva vs Bye


Good luck!

First round opponent is Chan

She must win!!

Chan is surely beatable. :)

is chan the girl malek beat in pattaya this week?

Chan is beatable for sure, not strong on serve, Sabine has all chances here to play her game and she should be able then to win this match, but she already was able to win her other matches before, hopefully mentally strong enough this time!

Sabine already plays tomorrow ;)

CENTRE COURT start 12:00 noon
S Cirstea (ROU) vs [14] F Schiavone (ITA)
S Lisicki (GER) vs [Q] Y Chan (TPE)

Centre Court :cheer:

Oh boo I was hoping Chan would get to win a round but Sabine is way to good. And she beat Williams last year so I predict a Quarter Finals for her.

Good Luck Sabine :angel:

Sabine LISICKI def. CHAN 6/1 6/4 :)

Solid win, no break for Chan, 1st service percentage not good, as actually always this season, but still good statistics for her!
Chan helped her with many DF´s, but this time she was strong enough to serve it out in 2nd set after an early break, should give her some confidence!

Now against Venus, after Venus latest performances, she has chances there, but will also depend on Venus of course, but great to see already that she still can win :lol: :)

Congrats, solid and never in doubt!

Solid win. :D
Sabine always plays well against topplayers so we can be very relaxed. :cool:

Sabine :yeah:

Good win..

Unlucky she gets Venus because she need to start winning a lot of matches, but she did win the last time they played :)

Good start of the tournament :yeah:

SABINE will beat Venus for sure. I know it.

Easy start in Dubai, Sabine!:)

6 Aces, 5 DFs.

Now upset Venus, Sabine!:devil:
Hope Venus plays 2 bad sets.

Great win

Hi guys , i'm a new lisicki fan here ..
I hope she win tomorrow .She can do it for sure ..;)

I'm very excited to watch her match today. I pray to God for her. I believe her, she is going to defeat Venus and show us the real Sabine Lisicki :angel:

She is comitting too many errors.

shes playing awful right now, needs to step it up

needs to hold serve now badly

wasting all her BPs in awful manner :help:

Jogi posting again, great to see. :D Call me tomorrow please!!

@loss: Sabine had too many easy errors on key points. This is what seperates her from the top.

Sabine :sad: :hug:

Sabine :hug:

Always going to be a tough match..but too many errors at the wrong times :sad:

She played fine but it wasn't her real game. She'll play better in next tournament I believe her. By the way I loved her sweet toy which is attached to her bag :angel: :hug:

Surprised that Venus won that easily, normally she doesnt win that cleary these days :tape:
Sabine, not really impressive,45% points won on first serve, that is actually awful, but was one of the best matches of Venus and it isnt a shame of cours to lose against her :angel:
A few too many errors at the wrong time, but she just needs to win a few matches now to get some confidence back, hopefully possible! :)
Still some nice points from Sabine today :)

Are any of you guys fans on her facebook page? she has two...the one where her profile pic is my avatar is the one I am a fan of and she has updates a lot from ehr own words. The other is just a posting thread

I'm a fan on one of them ;)
