Thursday: When Lisicki Failed Me


Sabine Lisicki:  My new Tennis Star!

When Serena Williams was defeated by Marion Bartoli in the Wimbledon 4th Round, I got so affected.  And since then, I started rooting against her.  On the Quarter Finals, it was Sabine Lisicki versus Bartoli.  I cheered for Lisicki and liked her since, specially after beating Bartoli.  I know it will not be a Williams Battle for the Nth Time @ Wimbledon. But I am hoping that this  time, it will be for not familiar names.  And so when it's time for the Semi-Finals - it was Lisicki vs. Maria Sharapova.  I thought my new Tennis favorite can pull another outstanding game, but she had a hard time chasing all the balls by Sharapova.  And so Lisicki fell short and have to settle for the Semi-Finals.  She got defeated by Sharapova and my hopes of a Wimbledon Finals of new faces turned to be impossible this year.  Well, maybe next year. :)

Watch out for Sabine next year!
