Even if Lisicki took for the first time a set against Maria, she was beaten again. Maria defeated Sabine Lisicki of Germany in 3 sets this time: 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 after 2 hours and 15 minutes. So, it was the first time that Maria lost a set this year in Melbourne.
The number of double-faults worried me a little bit, but overall Maria played well and she deserves 100% to be in quarters.
Speaking of quarter-final, Maria will play in this phase for the first time since 2008 when she won the trophy against Ekaterina Makarova, who eliminated Serena Williams, so big surprise !
Maria played against Makarova last year, two times in Madrid and Rome and in both matches Maria won. So, 2-0 is the overall score between Maria and Makarova.
