Sabine in two. In fact, I think she's going to win the whole thing.

 

[tented]

I also went with Lisicki in two.

 

[kskate2]

I'm going w/ Kanepi, possibly in 3. I think she is channeling her 2010 run here.

Heck, I have to go with my honey.
:heart:
Sabine in 2 sets.

I think this is a case where the giant killer doesn't go down. Sabine in straights.

 

[shawnbm]

I too believe Sabine pulls through, but in three due to nerves linked to expectations.

Kanepi is also good on grass and lost a tight qtr against Kvitova in 2011...
I am going with
Na li
Kanepi
Bartoli
Kvitova
Lisicki is a spoiler thats it...

Lisicki has a solid grass game and a big serve. There's the theory in sports that you should pull for the player who beat your favorite to win, proving that they're actually that good.

Sabine in 3 sets.....I am soo happy that Kanepi has been playing well on the grass after all her injury time outs.

 

[HawkEye]

Sabine in strights. In fact i think she has the game to win it all. But does she have the nerve? I don't think so. She'll lose with Li or Petra.

 

[kskate2]

Boom Boom takes the opening set 6-3

I will not pull for mediocres I love winners like Tiger,Kobe,Serena and Venus,Usain Bolt ,Nadal and Federer...proven champions not flukes..

 

[kskate2]

Boom Boom doesn't have a letdown and comes through in straights. Good job Lisicki! She reaches the SF of Wimby for the 2nd time in her career.

Sabine was all business today.

I like Sabine and have for years. It is so refreshing to see her playing to her potential on what happens to be the biggest stage in the sport. I sincerely hope we see her in the final this weekend. That would be grand.
