23rd-seed Sabine Lisicki of Germany had a massive win against the worlds no. 1 and defending champion Serena Williams on Centre Court at the All-England Club on Monday. With a score of 6-2, 1-6, 6-4, Sabine Lisicki kicked out the five-time Wimbledon champion and ended Serena's 34-match winning streak.
Serena was quoted as telling a reporter of the Washington Post:
“She plays really good on grass,” Williams said afterward. “She has a massive, massive serve. So going in there you have to know that it’s definitely not going to be an easy match playing her at Wimbledon, especially on Centre Court.
“It’s definitely not a shock. I just need to do better.”
Lisicki had to dig deep in the third set, fighting back from a three-games-to-none deficit. Afterward, she giggled and expressed her disbelief about beating the No. 1 player in the world.Read More
