Career

Lisicki trains at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida, USA. She's never had a professional coach in her life.
She had a successful year in 2007 on the ITF circuit and climbed from #497 to #198 in WTA rankings. She won two titles, one in Jersey, UK, and the other in Toronto, Canada. She defeated top-seed Katie O'Brien (6–4, 6–4) on August 2, 2007 at the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open.[2]
[edit]2008
At the 2008 Australian Open, her first Grand Slam tournament, she defeated the #16 seeded player, Dinara Safina (7–6, 4–6, 6–2) and Mariya Koryttseva (6–1, 7–5) to reach the third round as a qualifier. She lost her third round match to Caroline Wozniacki (4–6, 6–4, 6–3). Additionally, in the first round of Fed Cup against the United States, Sabine defeated the veteran Lindsay Davenport, 6–1, 7–5.
Sabine next reached the fourth round of the Miami 2008 Sony Ericsson Open, a Tier I event, where she sensationally defeated sixth seed Anna Chakvetadze (WTA 6) in straight sets 7–5, 6–1. However, she was soundly beaten 6–3, 6–2, in the next round by Elena Dementieva (WTA 11).
At the 2008 Wimbledon Championships, Sabine lost in the first round to the 2007 runner up and the #11 seed Marion Bartoli 6–2, 6–4. With daylight fading on Center Court at the end of day one, she made a spirited comeback in the second set, with a powerful serve and some good groundstrokes, but was not good enough to convert important points. She impressed the tennis analyst Virginia Wade, a Grand Slam winner herself, and Sabine will possibly be a force to be reckoned with in a few years time[citation needed].
