Sabine Lisicki
The Wimbledon runner-up has finally won a match after the Championship. It took 69 minutes for Sabine to beat the world no.37 Kristina Mladenovic. In the next match Sabine will play Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. This will be the first match between these two.
Caroline Wozniacki
The former world no.1 has been a bit lucky as she took advantage of a very tired Peng that was leading 6-2 1-3 before retiring. Apparently he Chinese was too tired as she after winning the title (doubles) Iin Cincinnati, she had to catch a flight and she had to play immediately.
“She felt a bit dizzy and obviously from the flight and everything, she played the doubles finals in Cincinnati last night. Flying in here and having to play the same day is obviously tough.” Said Caroline.
Wozniacki will play Karin Knapp in the next round. They have never playd each other’s so far.
