| Sharapova battles back to power into final Posted: 30 Jun 2011 08:48 AM PDT  Maria Sharapova of Russia celebrates after defeating Sabine Lisicki of Germany in their semi-final match at the Wimbledon tennis championships on June 30, 2011. — Reuters pic The Russian fifth seed, who won the grasscourt grand slam in 2004, slipped 3-0 down to the German wildcard in the first set of the semi-final but suddenly found her groove to rattle off a string of winners. Rain was in the air just as Sharapova was excelling but the drizzle held off and her momentum was maintained. The second set was again inconsistent from both players but the 24-year-old prevailed and will now fancy her chances against the Czech eighth seed in Saturday's showpiece. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
| Kvitova makes final after silencing Azarenka Posted: 30 Jun 2011 06:56 AM PDT  Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic hits a return to Victoria Azarenka of Belarus during their semi-final match at the Wimbledon tennis championships on June 30, 2011. — Reuters pic The Czech, also a semi-finalist last year, was utterly dominant early on from the baseline with her crisp and accurate hitting. Belarussian fourth seed Azarenka, whose yelping noise when striking the ball has caused amusement and annoyance at the grasscourt grand slam, stormed back in the second set though as Kvitova struck eight unforced errors. An early break in the third rekindled Kvitova's fire and she sealed a place in Saturday's final against Maria Sharapova or Sabine Lisicki. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
