Wimbledon 2012: Maria Sharapova knocked out in fourth round by Sabine Lisicki But in the very next game, a forehand return winner gave Lisicki set point, which she took after Sharapova put a forehand into the net off-balance. We had been here before, of course. Lisicki took the first set against Sharapova at this year's Australian Open too, only to crumble as Sharapova piled on the pressure. This time, there was no choke. After the resumption, she carved out two break points and took the first with another unstoppable forehand return. It was good enough. Lisicki was beginning to find her range on serve, and Sharapova was unable to get any sort of foothold on Lisicki's service games. There was a half a wobble when Lisicki squandered two match points with simple errors. But she made no mistake with the third, Sharapova putting a forehand return into the tramlines. The Paris-London double will have to wait for another year, then. Reigning on clay and grass in the space of a month proved to be beyond Sharapova, who is likely to lose her number one ranking as well.
