Stosur out of Wimbledon after Lisicki loss Samantha Stosur's Wimbledon campaign ended after 23rd-seeded German Sabine Lisicki came from a set down to win their third-round match on Saturday. The 14th seed missed a chance to reach the last 16 for the first time in her career with a 4-6 6-2 6-1 loss. The defeat left Bernard Tomic as the last Australian standing in singles, after he beat French ninth seed Richard Gasquet earlier on Saturday. Despite missing a chance to face top seed Serena Williams in the last 16, Stosur took encouragement from matching her best showing at the grand slam on her least-favoured surface. "I would have loved an opportunity to play in the fourth round but at least today, again, I have to be happy with the way I played overall," said Stosur. There was a couple points here and there in that match and maybe it's a different story. I know 6-2 6-1 doesn't look that close, but I think a lot of those games were. So as disappointing as it is, I have to say this is probably the best I've felt walking away from Wimbledon. Stosur entered the match on Centre Court full of confidence having equalled her best performance at the grass-court grand slam with easy wins over Slovakian Anna Schmiedlova and Russian Olga Puchkova. The 29-year-old always was prepared for a much tougher encounter against big-hitting Lisicki, a semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 2011 and quarter-finalist the past three years running. Still Stosur started impressively, securing the first break of the game to go 2-1 up. From there the Australian maintained a strong service game to wrap up the first set inside 28 minutes. Lisicki lifted in the second set, breaking serve in the fourth game. The German went 5-2 up before calling an injury timeout as she received treatment for a cut on her finger. Stosur earned a break point the next game but Lisicki fought back to square the match at one set all. Stosur faced a titanic struggle in her opening service game of the second set before eventually being broken. She missed several chances to break back in the next game but fought back from 0-40 to hold serve shortly after to keep her fading hopes alive. However, she ultimately couldn't halt a fast-finishing Lisicki, with the German securing another break and serving out the match. "I gave myself lots of opportunities but just wasn't able to get one of them," said Stosur, who will return home to Australia for the first time since January before turning her attention to the US hard court season.
