Wimbledon 2009 Quarterfinals Results: Dinara Safina Fights Her Way Past Sabine Lisicki to Reach Semifinals at All England Club

Dinara Safina has made a habit of putting herself in tough situations at Wimbledon and Tuesday was no different as the world’s number one needed three sets to get past Sabine Lisicki 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-1 to reach the semifinals at the All England Club.

Safina overcame an astounding 15 double faults and 38 unforced errors to get past Lisicki, much of that had to do with her capitalizing on opportunities as she broke the German’s serve on 6 of 11 chances. Lisicki had 12 aces in the match but her 42 unforced errors were enough to do her in.

Safina has reached the finals of the French Open the last two years but fell to Ana Ivanovic in 2008 and then Svetlana Kuznetsova earlier this year. In 2009 she reached the finals at the Australian Open but again fell, this time to Serena Williams. Despite never winning a Grand Slam singles title Safina reached the number one in the rankings on April 27, 2009.
