RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 7-9 - GAME, SET & MATCH! Radwanska saves the first with an inside-out backhand winner across court. Gutsy stuff from the Pole. But she can do nothing about the second as Lisicki produces a forehand winner down the line to book her place in a maiden Grand Slam final.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 7-8 0-40 - Radwanska nets a forehand on the first point before sending a forehand long on the second. A forced backhand error on the third and LISICKI HAS THREE MATCH POINTS...

RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 7-8 - BREAK! And this time Lisicki does break back, Radwanska sending a forehand volley just marginally long down the line. The German will serve for the match for a second time after the change of ends!
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 7-7 40-Ad - Lisicki nets a forehand to open the game before a lunging backhand volley lob winner across court gets her off the mark. A dipping forehand across court is volleyed wide off the forehand wing from Radwanska and it's break point Lisicki. But the German goes long with a change-of-direction forehand despite having a huge amount of court to aim at. Lisicki gets a second chance with an inside-out forehand that Radwanska can only return wide across court.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 7-7 - Isn't she supposed to be nervous? Lisicki crunches her way into a 40-0 lead serving to stay in the match. Radwanska rescues a point back with a deft backhand pass down the line, and a double fault from Lisicki hands her a second. Lisicki holds at the third attempt though when Radwanska's cross court forehand attempt catches the top of the tape and this time just fails to go over.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 7-6 - Brave stuff from Radwanska as she holds with a forehand down the line and then goes on to hold with an ace down the centre of the court - initially called out but overruled on a hawkeye challenge by the Pole.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 6-6 40-40 - Lisicki takes the first point of the game with a length forehand that Radwanska can only return long. Back-to-back netted forehands from the German help Radwanska take the lead but Lisicki levels at 30-all when the Pole mis-hits a forehand down the line wide. Lisicki then belts a forehand return winner down the line after backing away from the ball and it's break point. She sends a forehand long to squander it. Deuce.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 6-6 - A forehand drive volley winner from Lisicki brings up another game point and the German does hold to level up yet again when Radwanska goes long with a forehand across court.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 6-5 40-40 - Radwanska and Lisicki split the first two points before the Pole flings her racquet across court after abandoning her chase back after running the entire width of the court on the angle. She levels up at 30-30 when Lisicki nets a forehand before the German earns a game point with an ace. Again Radwanska levels with a forehand across cour that Lisicki can only return into the crowd. Deuce.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 6-5 - An absolutely huge forehand down the line from Radwanska, a real injection of pace, puts Lisicki on the back foot and then brings up two game points as the Pole goes for the faked drop shot instead slicing the ball deep towards the baseline. Lisicki saves the first, getting up to the drop shot and guiding a forehand winner across court. But Radwanska does hold at the second attempt and Lisicki will now have to serve to stay in this match. Can she hold her nerve?

RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 5-5 - BREAK! ... and the second with a huge serve down the centre of the court. Lisicki goes long with a forehand to gift Radwanska a third chance to break but again saves it with an ace (ace number nine) down the centre of the court. A huge forehand return across court from Radwanska helps bring up a fourth break back point and this time the Pole does break back when Lisicki sends an off-balance lob well long. Back on serve.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 4-5 40-30 - An ace from Lisicki opens the game before a fantastic sliced forehand drop shot from Radwanska followed by a sliced backhand into the open court sees her level. Radwanska sneaks ahead with a backhand volley that Lisicki can only lob wide across court. That turns into two break back points with a lucky net cord on the return and lob across court that Lisicki can only return long. The German saves the first with a backhand winner across court...

RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 4-5 - BREAK! Radwanska's anticipation comes to the rescue again when she produces a forehand passing shot off a smash from Lisicki but the German earns herself a break point with an inside-out forehand that Radwanska can only return wide down the line. And Lisicki will serve for a place in the Wimbledon final after Radwanska pulls her running cross court forehand lob attempt wide.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 4-4 - Lisicki squanders a game point with a forehand well long down the centre of the court. Radwanska then saves the second with another crouched down forehand across court that Lisicki can only net. Lisicki just gets enough on her cross court forehand that Radwanska cannot quite get a racquet to her backhand volley attempt and the German goes on to hold when Radwanska pulls a backhand wide.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 4-3 - Radwanska is completely down on her knees, almost sitting on the grass, as she directs a backhand winner down the line (just catching the outside of it) before going on to hold to 30 with a big first serve out wide that Lisicki can only slice back into the top of the net. Tough hold from Radwanska there.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 3-3 - Three huge first serves, all of which Radwanska can only return into the net bring up three game points for the German, who secures the hold to love when Radwanska nets a running forehand across court.

RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 3-2 - BREAK! Radwanska deals with a brutal forehand return of serve to save a first break point when Lisicki sends her follow-up forehand long down the centre of the court. But Lisicki secures the break back at the second time of asking with an acutely angled, ferociously hit cross court forehand winner.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 3-1 - Lisicki belts a forehand winner across court before Radwanska responds with a blistering forehand return of serve winner down the line. But the German goes on to hold with a high forehand volley winner down the line to get her side of the scoreboard ticking over in this final set.
-
RADWANSKA 4-6 6-2 3-0 - Lisicki sends a forehand long to helps Radwanska on her way to another comfortable hold of serve to consolidate the break. Radwanska is doing exactly what she does best in this match now, getting everything back into play until her opponent makes a mistake. She is simply grinding Lisicki down.
