Bank of the West Classic : Round 1- Sabine def. Lilia Osterloh 6-2 6-3

Sabine defeated the American Qualifier in straight sets to reach the second round of Bank of the West Classic tournament to set up an intriguing clash with the former World #1 Jelena Jankovic!

She seemed pretty relaxed after the match (well duh! it was quite easy , as the German's power was too much for Lilia) and "had a good cool down and massage afterwards".

You can check out the pictures from her first round match here (courtsey of cosmoose ) - [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

This is what she had to say about her next match - "Next up is Jankovic who I played in Stuttgart and lost in 3 sets. I'll get ready to get a revange!"

Thats the attitude of a Champion!

Interesting article.

I found an interesting article about Sabine while I was browsing some random stuff in the sports section. Basically, the article tells us about the milestones that Sabine has reached since she started playing professional tennis. It also gives us an idea of what might be in store for her in the future asfar as tennis is concerned! It was a great read.

You can read the complete article here - Will Sabine Lisicki be Germany's new Steffi Graf?

I wonder if such articles add to the pressure that she might already be experiencing or if they help to motivate her to prove herself even more. I hope its the latter one :)

PS:- Today we will find out who Sabine's first round opponent in the Bank of the West Classic tournament is. I will update her results and schedule widget as soon as I find out, so dont forget to regularly check the blog :)

Sabine's International Coverage

As we all know, Sabine first came into the limelight after her win Against Safina in 2008 Australian Open. But her real claim to fame was the tournament win at Family Circle Cup in Charleston this year.

This spring's tournament reached 241.2 million households in 15 territories — Pan-Europe, Asia-Pacific, Australia, Russia, China, India, Mexico, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Latin America (except Brazil), Korea, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.
