WIMBLEDON, June 23-- China's French Open champion Li Na crashed out of Wimbledon on Thursday, losing 3-6, 6-4, 8-6 to German wildcard Sabine Lisicki in the second round. 65th-ranked Lisicki will tackle Japanese qualifier Misaki Doi, who knocked out another Chinese player Zheng Jie 6-3, 6-1, for a place in the last 16. Lisicki erased both match points with service winners at 5-4 in the third set. After Li hit a forehand long on Lisicki's third match point, the 21-year-old German fell to her knees at the baseline and put her head to the turf. She broke into tears at her courtside chair. "The crowd really helped me when I was facing two match points. They cheered so loudly, I have never heard such a noise," said the winner. Li served for the match twice in the final set but was broken each time. She had won 14 of her previous 15 Grand Slam matches in 2011, reaching the final at the Australian Open, then becoming China's first major singles champion at Roland Garros. But Lisicki has now won 12 of her last 13 matches on grass courts, including reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals in 2009 and winning a tuneup tournament in Birmingham this month. She missed five months last season with a left ankle injury, and she fell out of the top 200 in the rankings. Lisicki is now back up to 62nd. Li had eased through the first set with a break in the eighth game. But Lisicki hit back in the second with a break to lead 3-1 before handing back the advantage in the ninth. |
