SABINE LISICKI

A final of a grand slam is always a matter of details. Maybe a point here, a point there will make the difference. Maybe someone who is a bit more gutsy than the other player, someone who is having a better day than the others.

Tennis is for me joy, nothing less than that.

My parents did everything possible. My dad has worked from eight in the morning until nine in the evening to make it possible so I can play tennis. We had to cancel tournaments because we couldn't afford to go there.

I believed that I could still win no matter what the score was.

I just fought with all my heart. I believed that I could still win no matter what the score was.
