Sabine Lisicki has already taken out two top ten seeds and is eyeing up a further scalp in the form of Maria Sharapova

"The former world No.22 has so far been imperious on serve- she leads the tournament Ace count table with 44 aces (Sharapova has hit 19). Furthermore she has a highest service speed of 124 MPH; similar to that of Roger Federer and the fastest of the tournament so far."

Sabine Lisicki's serving statistics are frighteningly good right now and she's clocked a few at the sort of speed Roger Federer serves at. If she can carry on doing that, she can defeat red-hot favourite Maria Sharapova, says Ben Caudell.
