LONDON, June 28 — German wildcard Sabine Lisicki beat Marion Bartoli 6-4 6-7 6-1 under the Centre Court roof in a dramatic Wimbledon quarter-final today.

Lisicki broke the ninth-seeded Frenchwoman early in the opening set and late in the second to put herself in sight of her first grand slam semi-final.

She served for victory at 5-4 and had three match points but the tenacious Bartoli, who beat defending champion Serena Williams in the last round, saved them all and forced a tiebreak which she won 7-4.

Lisicki, who had to be carried off court on a stretcher after wasting a match point and losing to Vera Zvonareva at this year's French Open, dominated the third set and sealed victory on her fourth match point. — Reuters

LONDON, June 28 — A scan on Rafa Nadal's injured left foot has shown no major damage and the holder and number one seed should be fit to play Mardy Fish in the quarter-finals tomorrow, Nadal said in a statement today.

The Spaniard suffered the injury towards the end of the first set of yesterday's four-set victory over Juan Martin Del Potro and needed almost 10 minutes of courtside treatment from a physio and doctor.

"I thought I'd have to retire," Nadal said after the match. "I felt something very strange. I felt that I had broken my foot, I felt terrible. I am worried for sure. I will have the scan and then let's see if I can recover for Wednesday."

After having the foot strapped he was able to play the rest of the match, though he said he was suffering some pain whenever he hit a forehand.

He underwent an MRI scan today morning and will practise in the afternoon. — Reuters
