I'm gonna take the better player here and go with Bartoli who is playing absolutely lights out in this major. I definitely think Lisicki can win this as she has been serving great but her match against Na Li didn't impress me as much as it did others. Na Li gave that match away and now Lisicki is a favorite against a top 10 player in the world because of this and the past matchups.
Lisicki's power game comes at a good time for Bartoli after having just faced Serena who plays a pretty similar power style. Bartoli's movement and consistancy from the baseline is why I am taking her in this match. Both players are strong mentally. With the #1 seed out and both the Williams sisters gone, I can't imagine Bartoli not seizing this opportunity.
