Sabine Lisicki hot

	September 22, 1989
	!

	Sabine was introduced to tennis by her father at the age of seven and quickly realized she had a natural talent and love for the sport. After beginning her career on the ITF Circuit in 2004, Sabine rapidly established herself as a major force in the women’s junior game. She began her training at the prestigious Nick Bollettieri Academy, where her talent was immediately recognized by some of the greatest players of the game. Her breakthrough season came in 2008, and was highlighted by reaching her first WTA Tour final, in which she had wins over Davenport, Chakvetadze and Safina. By the end of the season, she was able to climb in the rankings from #237 to #54 in the world. Sabine made history during the 2009 Family Circle Cup, by becoming the lowest ranked player ever to win the title in Charleston, South Carolina. As the 16th seed, the German teenager secured her first tour title by beating Danish 5th seed Caroline Wozniacki in a fast-paced final; the biggest win of her career. She burst onto the radar earlier in the week when she defeated 2nd seed Venus Williams in two straight sets. At just 19 years old, Sabine became not only the lowest-ranked player but also the youngest to ever win the Charleston title. Sabine, who is coached by her father Richard and trains at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida, is known for her tenacious spirit on the court. Her favorite surfaces are hard and grass. Her powerful serve, consistently reaching speeds of over 110 mph, combined with her impressive groundstrokes make her an up-and-coming force to be reckoned with on the WTA Tour. With comparisons being made to Steffi Graf, due to her speed around the court and her attacking cross-court shots, expectations are high. Sabine is undoubtedly a great prospect for the near future.

	Off the court, Sabine enjoys listening to pop and R&B music and reading. Her favorite book is Lance Armstrong’s autobiography ‘It’s Not About the Bike’; she admires his drive and determination. As a happy and hardworking teenager, Sabine is known for her fighting spirit.

Table tennis rules

The diagram illustrates the case of serving in singles. The server must hit the ball so that it hits his own court first (the table on his side of the net), and then the ball can go over or around the net before hitting the table on his opponent's side of the net.

This means that it is technically legal for a server to serve around the side of the net assembly, provided he can curve the ball enough to bring it back on to his opponent's court. This is by no means an easy serve to perform - since the net post is supposed to project 15.25cm outside the side line

As everyone knows already, we live in the middle of the mountains semi-isolated with a very strict daily routine. We don’t see outside people too often, neither we watch too much TV or read the news. Being somehow partially disconnected from the outside world, we have to find out strategies to chill and enjoy our free time when we’re not practicing or studying. Often, we read some books; watch some movies; play videogames or surf on the web. I’m more on to books and movies, but sometimes I also use different methods.

We went shopping today, and passed by Kmart to buy some dumbbells. While there, we saw a table tennis table on sale. It cost only 52 dollars! That’s super cheap. We decided that we had to buy it. So now, we have another strategy to use our free time wisely, play table tennis. Along with the table we bought two rackets and some balls. Now, it’s time to challenge someone and hope that I still know how to play it well. It’s time to remember the old times playing it at my friends house.

Joãozinho, Mauro, Telmo, Markito, Roger, Lindinho, Zé Luis, Fininho, Bodo, Tareco, it’s time to use the skills that I learned with you guys. I hope I don’t let you down.
