UNO News Net: WIMBLEDON 2013: German Sabine Lisicki, the conqueror of Serena Williams, on a roll after reaching semi-finals with convincing win over Kanepi

Sabine Lisicki, the conqueror of Serena Williams, marches on. Lisicki reached her second semi-final at Wimbledon with a convincing and comfortable 6-3, 6-3 victory over Kaia Kanepi, the Estonian who defeated Laura Robson on Monday.
The 23-year-old German beat her opponent and the rain which started falling just as she was striking the winning drive volley. The covers on Court 1 were unveiled while she stopped at some length to sign autographs, smiling all the while.

Momentum: Lisicki was in blistering form once again at Wimbledon

Joy: After beating Serena Williams yesterday, Lisicki marched into the semi-finals

Kanepi, on the other hand, left swiftly. It was almost as if she had not turned up in the first place having given a very lack lustre performance.
‘Lisicki is looking like the player to beat, perhaps,’ nine times champion Martina Navratilova said about the later stages of the tournament.
Lisicki had resumed from where she left off against Williams by breaking Kanepi in the opening game of the match. She required just the one break point after four deuces in what proved the longest game of the quarter final.

Power out: Estonian Kanepi could not handle the force of the German, losing the first set in just 33 minutes

The No 23 seed, who lost to Maria Sharapova in the semi two years ago, broke her opponent’s serve again to take the opening set in just 33 minutes.
From out of nowhere, Lisicki served three double faults in the third game of the second set to fall behind. But the strangely muted Estonian double faulted to lose her own serve and the advantage.
The end was pretty quick after that, and deservedly so. Although the games of both players are based on big serving and powerful ground strokes, the German possessed much more variety in terms of touch and tactics.
