Miami R2: Lisicki d. Petrova 46 63 31 ret.

Sabine :cheer: Not the way you want a win, but I think she would've pulled it out regardless.

Sabs ;)

Wow now a possible matchup with Sharapova :eek:

Nadia :shrug: :sad:
good for Sabine, more pts

Hopefully Naughtya is okay and it's nothing too serious.

Thrilled for Sabine though! :D Really needed this.

What a luck! :lol:

First round Czink an now an injured/ill Petrova... :spit:
Let' see how she will play against Sharapova! :unsure:

At least an explanation why Nadia had such huge problems. :o
I hope it's nothing serious! :hug:

Nadia :shrug: :sad:
good for Sabine, more pts
:yeah:
:wazzup: with Nadia, Eggy ????

This is a pretty big deal for Sabine, she really needs these points.

if we were talking about luck, we need to mention the undeserved WC

still very happy though, she needs ranking points and confidence

there are the points!

What a luck! :lol:

First round Czink an now an injured/ill Petrova... :spit:






Fortune favours the brave!

Nadia :unsure: What injury did she have?:scared: :o

Sabine :cheer: Goood luck with Maria.:rocker2:

Let's not get ahead of ourselves Maria still has to do the job... ROFL !!

This is a great win for Sabine, I'm really happy for her and hopefully she takes confidence after this. :yeah:

How much points does she get from R3 !?

80 pts, still a small amount
(r2=50)

Sabine lucky again but she really deserves it after all what happened!
Can´t say anything about the match, I just hope that she showed a good match and another big match is waiting for her and that should give her some confidence again, important pts for her anyway :)

Hopefully not too serious, Nadia :hug:

Nadia :hug: not good

Happy that Sabine advances :)

Good win for Sabine :bounce:

Sorry for Petrova :hug:Hope nothing serious and she gets well quick.

Great that Sabine got back her service game in 2nd and 3rd set, after ominous 1st set and the problems in the past matches. :cheer:

if we were talking about luck, we need to mention the undeserved WC

She got the IMG WC ;) unsurprising cause she's still one of the biggest assets for them.

80 pts, still a small amount
(r2=50)

Still 40 ranking spots Lisnooki doesn´t improve, if she doesn´t receive the wildcard.

One more win could push her up another 40 spots.

80 pts, still a small amount
(r2=50)

Very little indeed... but that should place her just around the 180th place around anyways at least inside the the top 200... I guess !?

I wished she came up faster.

Possible matchup against Masha :hearts:

Too bad it ended that way, but I'm so happy for Sabine! :D:worship:

Nadia. :awww: Hope it's nothing serious.

Nice to see Sabine win a couple of rounds again, she's too good to be this far down the rankings.

She's made only 124 pts so far this year, so it's quite a big step for her.

Official reason for retirement: dizziness :shrug:

:lol: Petrova did not look injured at all. She looked disinterested but they would play some great points and Sabine would hit a gorgeous winner to end it. Only thing that kept Nadia in the match was her serve, mostly in the 1st set. Sabine was quite good off the ground and I was happy to see her bounce back after a small lead in the 1st set.

Nadia Petrova of Russia cools off with bags of ice water under her arms during her match against Sabine Lisicki

Yeah it was really hot. Vesnina was also cooling off during her match during each changeover.

A thing I haven't considered yet. Especially Russian girls often have problems with the heat!

Kleybs and Nastya... :unsure:

Apparently there was some drama involving Kirilenko & Pavlyuchenkova vs Nadia in the practice courts. I got there too late (:o) but apparently Nadia was kicking both of them off the courts, saying it was her court. That's what I was told anyways.

Bartoli is setting new trends! :hearts:

Happy for Bienchen :yeah:

Looks like Petrova couldn't take the heat, both literally and figuratively. Was headed for a loss anyway.

Exactly :lol:

nadiagonggong. :hug:

Official reason for retirement: dizziness :shrug:

Yeah, that definitely can happen in the heat, especially if you are already not feeling well.

Sorry to see the loss, but it is good for Lisicki to go on.

Get better, Nadia.

well done lisicki^^

Sabine :cheer: Not the way you want a win, but I think she would've pulled it out regardless.

This.

Keep fighting Sabine! Just think about Charleston in 2009 when you beat Caroline. Now you know how much further you have to go in order to catch up. Good Luck Sabine! I would love to see Push play Sabine once again.

Sabine :bounce: :bounce:

Lisicki :)
Naughtya :hug:

Sabine :hearts:

Sabine - Keep on rising again :cheer:

I wanted Sab to win, but not this way.
Nadi :hug:

Sabine :hearts: :eek: :woohoo:

...but I fell sorry for Nadia too :awww:
