Sabine Lisicki loses to player ranked outside of the top 300 at ITF event in Mexico in an 18 double faults effort
WTA
Sabine Lisicki has been attempting a comeback to tennis yet it's not going so well as she's been unable to make much noise even in ITF events.
She was playing in Mexico City this week and won a couple of matches but it wasn't anything noteworthy from the former Wimbledon finalist. She was taking on Cengiz and for a brief moment, she was doing well in the match. Lisicki actually had her massive forehand firing early on as she took a 3-0 lead but it all fell apart not long after that.
The serve wasn't going as well as she had hoped and there were far too many errors from the German. 6-4 was the score in the first set after Cengiz managed a massive comeback. The second set was even weaker from the German player as she lost it 6-2 kind of giving up towards the of the match.
A solid effort overall but the level was not good enough. She won less than half of her service games taking 4 out of 5. She had nine aces but also 18 double faults which is two double faults per service game as she had nine in total. Just not good enough for the former player who was ranked 12 at the peak but outside of the top 300 right now.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
