Sabine Lisicki fought a big fight against Naomi Broady at the BGL BNP Paribas Luxembourg Open, but was unable to take advantage of her chances.
Sabine Lisicki, who started with a wildcard, was the third in the league of the German women’s representatives in Luxembourg and with Naomi Broady from Great Britain, had a strong serve on the opposite side.Lisicki was present from the very beginning and took the serve early in her opponent’s game.With solid service “Bum-Bum-Bum-Bine” served itself to the deserved 6:4 set win in the first round.
The 28-year-old continued her good leadership in second place and gained an advantage with a 2:1 break.With the break in the back, some mistakes crept in at the current number 262 of the world and also had to give up their serve for the 3:3 equalization.A double error on the first day and a slight mistake caused Lisicki’s immediate re-break, which was followed by some tactical instructions from her coach Peyre Guillaume.
Lisicki was also not immune to simple mistakes and so the final phase of the second round turned out to be a nervous game.Lisicki missed two match points at a score of 5:3 and lost her next serve game clearly to the score of 5:5 and finally set second with 5:7.
Lisicki lost her thread completely in the decisive round and was trailing 0:3 after a short time.During the break during the change of sides, the German took a break from injury and had to be treated on her right shoulder.All the revolts of the former Wimbledon finalist didn’t help at all and Lisicki had to admit defeat with 6:4,5:7 and 3:6.
