Lisicki defeats Li in three sets. 3-6 6-4 8-6
It really came down to Na self destructing. Her forehand completely deserted her in the last few games, and Lisicki realized it and started directing the majority of her shots to Li's forehand. Li had two match points, and that's where it became apparent how important a great serve is. Lisicki has such a great first serve, and in a typical Serena fashion, she served her way out of trouble. Lisicki has a great shot at reaching the quarterfinals again as she faces Misaki Doi in the third round and most likely Ivanovic in the Round of 16.
