Sabine
Lisicki from Germany who is currently ranked #24 in WTA is competing
against Marian Bartoli from France who is ranked #15 today at the Centre
Court. To those who have consistently watched the matches, we all know
that Lisicki is the lady responsible for the elimination of last year's
champ and runner-up.
H2H, Lisicki leads over Bartoli, 3-1. Both ladies have never won a Grandslam title so this match is definitely a big one.

2:40 P.M. London TimeBartoli leads the match by winning the first set. She looks so fierce and Lisicki, of course, looks worried.
3:13 P.M London Time
Score is 5-1 with Bartoli leading the 2nd set. She looks composed while Lisicki is getting frustrated that she actually had tears in a while. The Frenchwoman is a few minutes away from winning this match... and claiming the title.
3:20 P.M. London Time
Lisicki held on to win the game and extend the match. Score is 2-5 in favor of Bartoli. Lisicki needs to endure and push to catch up with the score and win this set.
3:50 P.M London Time
Ok, so I got lost watching Marian Bratoli win the title hahaha Sabine Lisicki won 2 more games to score 4-5 but Bartoli finished it with 6-4.
Obviously, the crowd's fave was Lisicki. Can't blame the people. She has beaten the 2012 champ and runner-up. We can't always have everything. It would be an epic story if she got the title though. But I also think she expected too much by talking to so many people about the Wimbledon title and all. Oh well...
Congratulations to Marian Bartoli for winning her first Grandslam title.
Leaving a quote from Marian Bartoli...
"To become Wimbledon champion with ace I couldn't have dreamed it. Been practicing my serve so long I saved it for best moment"
