Lisicki, 23, beat Kaia Kanepi 6-3, 6-3 on Court One to secure a place in the
last four at the All England Club for the second time.
Lisicki was beaten by Maria Sharapova when she reached the semis here in 2011
and says she has learnt from that straight sets defeat.
“I know how it is to be in the semis,” she said. “I know the different
atmosphere, because everything starts to get empty in the locker room. It is a
completely different feeling so I am glad that I had that experience before. I
feel much fresher, fitter and better than two years ago.”
Lisicki, who knocked out defending champion Serena Williams in the last 16,
will play either Agnieszka Radwanska or Li Na on Thursday for a place in the
final.
“Radwanska plays a very smart game,” said Lisicki. “She moves well around the
court and was in the final last year, so she has a lot of confidence from that.
I had a tough battle here two years ago against Li Na, so I think that would be
a great match too.”
