Nope, she's an Aussie really!

Never really understood that mentality... She was brought up British, she was trained British and she's happily playing for Britain. What's Aussie about her? Because she was born there and live there for a tiny period of her life?

Next you'll be saying England Cricket team isn't English when they won the Ashes...

Just watched the recording, she's doing really well. For a teenager representing, her mental work has improved since the Olympics!

nice. after lisicki lost the first set, she breaks twice to win set 2.

Guerrilla · 29 Jun 2013 at 17:39

Tsk, Stosur is so much more talented

Little bit too well built, but much more talented than Lisicki

Guerrilla · 29 Jun 2013 at 17:48

I wouldn't fancy wrestling her

Brits are on Red Button

Domicic Inglot & Johanna Konta in mixed dbls started well lost serve in opening game.

Heather Watson & Jonathan Marray set up and 3-3- in 2nd

Not on grass she isn't, even admits herself she hates it and is no good on it. Lost to Arantxa Rus last year in a major shock.

Yet again, a female goes a set up then goes into meltdown (yes, you Miss Stosur) :rolleyes:

whoever wins will get more money but they're out next round. i don't even need to mention the name.

isonomicjedi · 29 Jun 2013 at 18:00

Maybe another seed on way out.

Li Na is a set down to lovely-but-always-miserable Klara Zakopalova.

Always think she could do with a night out to let her hair down and cheer up a bit.

Guerrilla · 29 Jun 2013 at 18:04

Lisicki just getting better and better.

isonomicjedi · 29 Jun 2013 at 18:09

Robson to play Kanepi next round not Canopy as the commentator insisted on calling her.

Guerrilla · 29 Jun 2013 at 18:13

Yay Lisicki

el_dazza · 29 Jun 2013 at 18:16

Totally forgot I had £5 on Lisicki winning 2-1 at 3/1

isonomicjedi · 29 Jun 2013 at 18:20

Jonathan Marray & Heather Watson just won their mixed dbls match 2-0

Laura Robson should be up soon for her Women's Dbls match but they didn't have a court listed so might even be on tv court. if were lucky

Don't all bet your house on Serena

"That is the match everyone wants to get to," says Lisicki about the probability of playing Serena Williams next. Lisicki has beaten the reigning French Open champion at Wimbledon in three of the last four years. I don't need to remind you who the current Roland Garros champ is... (it's Serena)

Have you not learned anything about women's tennis today?

Yeah it was typical Li Na takes 2nd set 6-0 close 3rd set though

well that's the most useless stat of the day. you cannot compare any of them to the machine that serena is at the moment. she's in form and more importantly, she's hungry for it like we've never seen before.

i'd love lisicki to win but i give her no chance.

isonomicjedi · 29 Jun 2013 at 18:58

Robson & Raymond now on court 2 red button

And they were all one-or-two slam wonders - the French open is probably the easiest Slam for a non-Williams sister to win - and we know what consistency in the women's game is like these days. I do like Lisicki though and hope she pulls off something remarkable, but given the mental side of the women's game and the amount of slams Serena has won relative to the rest of the tour (like all of them combined?) you don't hold much hope.
