fading lisicki tommorow i really think kanepi wins

pattymayo · 07-01-13, 10:51 PM

I hope you cashed out some of those Sabine winnings before you go blowing it all

nvrlose37 · 07-01-13, 11:42 PM

She must be drained from beating Serena, I like the play and I'm tailing. Possibly parlaying with Li Na.

secret007 · 07-02-13, 02:00 AM

i was with you with lisicki against Serena, but i disagree with this one. Leaning towards Lisicki 2-0, but since this is WTA, lisicki 2-1 is definitely possible, could not see Kanepi winning this one.

theballsflop · 07-02-13, 02:35 AM

This is a classic biting the hand that feeds u. I can't see Kanepi taking Lisicki, she's just not good enough. Li or Raddy maybe, not K

brandoc · 07-02-13, 03:13 AM

I like this play lots as well as Kanepi 2-1 and Lisicki walking off a loser while crying but still grinning like a complete spastic

Wesley · 07-02-13, 04:42 AM

you can't compare Lisicki with these players you mentioned...this is by far Lisicki's best tournament every year

She reached the Semifinal in 2011 and the Quarterfinals in 2009 and 2012...she is 13-4 at Wimbledon...your named players didn't reach anything at any Grand Slam

Lisicki has a great chance to win this tournament, so she will hopefully not lose to fat penetrate Kanepi

gcd8 · 07-02-13, 04:56 AM

you guys just don't get it players coming off a big win aren't doing it back to back, and ur nuts if u think lisicki can't lose to kanepi, lisiciki lost to riske last week who kanepi already took out in straights also kanepi beat kerber who i believe took out lisicki last year, lisicki had some moments yesterday in the 2nd set where she looked very below avg, i just think lisicki will be flat today and kanepi will win, guess we shall see in 2 hours

dimejack · 07-02-13, 05:12 AM

Kanepi 3.30 - Lisicki 1.40

Kanepi... I don't know what she gets for breakfast... different types of anabolic steroids?

I see Lisicki winning the tournament, as for the Kanepi - just anabolic and androgenic side effects...

Wesley · 07-02-13, 05:22 AM

last week? are you kidding?

you can't compare a small tournament like Birmingham with a Grand Slam ... these tournaments are only for preperation

Hantuchova won at Birmingham and lost in straight sets versus Zakopalova in Round 1 in Wimbledon...yfi

and Kerber plays like shit the whole year...

it's tough to do after lisicki came up so huge for me but look at all the upsets this year at wimbledon the big upsets they have all gone down in the next round and most of them didn't have to play the very next day, cetkovska beats wozzy loses to stephens, de brito beats sharapova loses to knapp, bouchard beats ana loses to suarez navvaro, dolnoc beats janko loses to flipkens, sisjling beats roanic loses to dodig, zemijia beats dimitorvs loses to del po, darcis beats nadal can't even play his next match, dustin brown beats hewitt loses to mannarino, sergy beats fed loses to melzer, it just seems like everytime theres an upset they go out next round, and lisicki is playing the very next day that win over serena had to take something out of her, kanepi is no slouch and i like that she is holding serve i 'm afraid to say but i think sabine lisicki goes out tommorow that's why i'm betting kanepi

how many of these giant killers were huge favorite the next game?

shari91 · 07-02-13, 05:48 AM

I don't know man. I've watched each of Kanepi's matches and I'd be very surprised if she can beat Lisicki. There obviously is a letdown factor with many players through the years in this position so I hope it works for you on this one!

Chaz22 · 07-02-13, 05:59 AM

I think Kanepi played impressive against Kerber, especially in the tiebreaker being 1-5 down... I would not count her out...

Of the 8 "letdowns" mentioned, 6 were the underdog anyway so hardly comparable to the big favourite that is Lisicki today. You can't expect them to win as a dog in every match.
The only two who went into the next match as favourite were Brown and De Brito, and even they were only slight favourites who may have been pick ems if not for previous round price inflation.

Stats can be used however you want to make a point.
Personally I think Lisicki rolls 2-0 today. This is her surface. The Williams win albeit unexpected was not a fluke. She has proven over the years at Wimbeldon she has the game to go deep on grass.

This year's Wimbledon was full of upset. Out of 10+ upsets, only 1 of those giants killers was HUGE favorite the next game and lost. That is Hewitt by the way.

Since we can throw some random stats here, how about this

Of all the upsets involving top 10 WTA players in this grand slam, only 3 of the giant killers were massive favorite the next round and here's how they did.

kanepi -200 . won easily
puig-200 won
robson -400 won easily

HOT WINGS · 07-02-13, 06:57 AM

I was close to making a play Kanepi, but couldn't pu ll trigger. The dog I like today is Flipkens. GL!

secret007 · 07-02-13, 07:01 AM

The only WTA dog I like today is Stephens.

Deciding whether to go with Li Na -2.5 or Lisicki 2-0 here.

My point exactly.
Giant killers who enter the following round as underdogs and lose can not be classed as a letdown.

Only players who enter the following match as a big favourite can be compared to Lisickis situation, and they are 3-0.

49erFan8280 · 07-02-13, 07:30 AM

Lisicki is having no issue with her.

I agree early. But we also saw Robson and Stephens come back from a game away from straight sets losing to winning so we have to wait

OhMyEli · 07-02-13, 07:43 AM

Lisicki is on a higher level

secret007 · 07-02-13, 07:44 AM

Lisicki won first set 6-3

secret007 · 07-02-13, 07:53 AM

lisicki gift-wrapping the 3rd game for Kaneppi

Never bite the hand that feeds u...........

49erFan8280 · 07-02-13, 08:02 AM

Lisicki is flying around the court.

gcd8 · 07-02-13, 08:05 AM

yup i was wrong on that one yikes didn't think it was gonna be a blowout

benrama · 07-02-13, 08:05 AM

Congrats Lisicki backers, no let down this time around. Still will play this spot every time in the future.

secret007 · 07-02-13, 08:16 AM

womans tennis, what can you do?

secret007 · 07-02-13, 08:22 AM

radwanska won the first set. Sabine would LOVE to meet radwanska here.

benrama · 07-02-13, 08:22 AM

A play against Lisicki was predicated on her having some UE's but to her credit she played well within herself to minimise these. She's obviously got some smart coaching. I lost 2 units on the game but have made a killing on let down spots this tourney so can't complain.

set 2 game 3 it looked like she was going to implode and had no confidence in her shot. it was impressive how she turned it around. i just do not like the espn commentators. they acted like she was the next nadal of womens tennis. even a simple shot she would make was "brilliance".

benrama · 07-02-13, 08:34 AM

Yea she's just a middle of the road WTA player, I still don't think she'll win here, though I think she'd rather meet A-Rad than Li in the semis so if she wins that works in her favour.

She's got some great strength to her ground strokes but a high propensity to drag them into the net. And for an opponent that can get more balls in play - Kanepi was truly horrendous at this today. lets face it - there will be plenty of chances.

Anyways for now well played to ze German.

secret007 · 07-02-13, 08:36 AM

I think Li Na will be her biggest challenge left in the tourney.
