    Licky Licky Lisicki

    I think if you can get her @ +500 or better, why not against Sharapova. And +5.5 for the conservative playa. I haven't played any singles matches in WTA in quite some time and really did not cap a preview to the WTA side, but I have been paying attention to how the women's draw has developed and there is something that points to Sharapova losing before the semis in my mind. She has challenged by Pironkova before eventually rolling, but she was flirting with disaster in the first two sets. She had no competition in round three, but was a little shakier on serve - not consistently getting her 1st serve in as much.

    I don't know what that thing is, but it is sitting in my gut that Lisicki or maybe Clijsters/Kerber can take it to her - especially Clijsters being in her farewell tour at a Slam she has always been good at, but never won. Lisicki will have to avoid her own recurring service issues - but she has the game and this will be her third meeting with Masha at a Slam. She improved in the Australian, taking a set before falling apart over her demolition loss to her @ Wimbledon last year.

    Just my two cents for Monday. So whatcha wanna do.

    Not a bad play EP, especially the +5.5 games line. Lisicki seems to have found some good form lately. It's weird because just last month, it seemed like she's been getting too much pole and can hardly move on the courts.

    Good luck on your play.

    Heh. Yeah her year as a whole has been lost in space since Australia, but I like how she has battled this week. Admittedly, she can't play like she did against Stephens of Jovanovski and expect to compete with Maria ... but she's one of those players I think who plays up and down to the level of competition a lot.

    Sharapova has not had a problem with Lisicki before
    she's 3-0 against her within the last year.

    Unfortunately with the rain forecast, this match may be delayed - definitely will have some interruptions if they start. Hopefully the forecasters are off again ... but does not look promising.

    Finding those spot plays seems easier when you sit back and wait with the futures. This was one of those. One play every two weeks? Commitment baby!

    I think she'd be too scared of Maria's evil eye.

    Nice to see Lisicki playing well again although that means I'll probably finish last in my own tennis contest now
