Lisicki gets win on birthday!
Sabine Lisicki at the 2008 Sony Ericsson Open
It was a good 19th birthday for NBTA student Sabine Lisicki, as she picked up a win in the first round of the Hansol Korea Open in Seoul. Lisicki beat Vera Dushevina 6-1, 6-0 in 48 minutes. She broke Dushevina six times and won 100% of the points on her first serve. She will now face either #7 Marina Erakovic or Samantha Stosur in the second round (that match will be played tomorrow).
Lisicki comes into the tournament ranked a career high of #63 in the world and she is playing for the first time since she lost in the second round of the US Open to Alona Bondarenko.
