LISIKI – SHARAPOVA 6-4 6-3
Finally Sabine defeated Maria after losing to her for 3 consecutive times. 6-4 6-3 was also a sweet “revenge” after losing to the Russian in last year’s Wimbledon final with the same result.
“On grass you have to have a good serve,” Sabine said. “It gives you a great advantage. That’s what I have. I like to be aggressive in general, so I think that’s why grass suits me well. I like to move on it. Also, the atmosphere here at Wimbledon is just amazing.”
Maria had nice words for her opponent “You just have to hand it to her,” she said. “She did many things better than I did. She stays really low. She’s a strong girl. She hits the ball really hard.”
Azarenka will be ranked again as world no.1 after trashing Ana Ivanovic 6-1 6-0.
Kvitova survived Schiavone after recovering from 1 set down to win 4-6 7-5 6-1.
Serena defeats Shvedova 6-1 2-6 7-5to complain against he security guards (!?) claiming to be “almost knocked over” by fans after her win. “I literally was almost knocked over today,” adding that there “was tons of security guards in there just going nuts and screaming. I’ve never heard them scream so loud.”
