Sabine Lisicki Reach Indian Wells Semi-Finals
Lisicki, a former Wimbledon finalist, struggled to find her serve in the
decider and was forced to deny Pennetta from winning the match on three
occasions before belatedly discovering her serve and rallying to a
thrilling 6-4 6-7 (3-7) 7-6 (7-4) victory.
Lisicki won 75 per cent of her first-serve points and broke Pennetta four times in the first career meeting between the two.
"In matches like this both players played unbelievable points. It was fun to be part of a match like this," said Lisicki, who holds the WTA record for the fastest serve - a 131 mph (210.82 kph) blast she struck last year in Stanford.
