23rd seed Sabine Lisciki of Germany reaches her first grand slam final after beating 4th ranked Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in the semi-finals of Wimbledon.
In a battle of contrasting styles of play where Lisicki is known for her power while Radwanska for finesse and control, it was the former who held her nerve when it mattered, taking the match after two hours and 18 minutes with a booming forehand winner and wrapped the match to win three sets, 6-4, 2-6, 9-7.
The 23rd seed Lisicki will face France's 15th-seeded Marion Bartoli, the 2007 runner-up, in Saturday's title match looking to become Germany's first champion at a major since Steffi Graf beat Martina Hingis to claim the 1999 French Open.
