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.

Gabung Vlog, 1000 user online pun tak mustahil

Vlog, tak dapat dipungkiri menjadikan sarana menjaring traffict menjadi lebih mudah. Lewat media ini kita akan terpacu untuk menjadi kreatif dalam menulis. Hadiahnya ? ketika tulisan kita terpampang di vlog vivanews adalah berupa traffict yang mungkin kita sendiri belum pernah membayangkan, blog kita mungkin saat itu melebihi traffict blog yang sudah terkenal.

Lewat vlog ini juga blog-ku mendapatkan traffict yang sangat luar biasa. Bahkan, suatu ketika artikel blog-ku yang ditayangkan vlog sempat hampir menyentuh seribu user online yang terlihat dari widget online-ku. Alhasil hari itu puluhan ribu pageviewpun tercapai, sebuah sejarah dalam blog-ku.

Bagi para blogger yang belum bergabung di vlog, rugi deh klo ngga gabung di vlog. Apalagi bagi blogger yang memang ingin menyalurkan hobi menulis, vlog akan memacu kita untuk meghasilkan karya-karya yang lebih bermutu. Copas yang sering dilakukan blogger untuk menambah artikel demi menaikkan traffict pun mulai kutinggalkan. Disela-sela kesibukan bekerja maupun beraktivitas, ide-ide yang kadang-kadang lewat sekejap di otak pun langsung kucatat agar tak menguap begitu saja untuk diolah ketika ada waktu senggang. Dan dengan aktivitas ngeblog ini sepertinya menulis tak sesulit dibayangkan seperti ketika masa sekolah dahulu.

Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire against intrusions by various nomadic groups. Several walls have been built since the 5th century BC that are referred to collectively as the Great Wall, which has been rebuilt and maintained from the 5th century BC through the 16th century. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains; the majority of the existing wall was built during the Ming Dynasty.

Victoria Falls Zimbabwe

Victoria Falls is one of the most famous falls, considered to be among the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, is believed to have been the first European recorded to view the Victoria Falls — which he did from what is now known as 'Livingstone Island' in Zambia, the only land accessible in the middle of the falls.David Livingstone gave the falls the name 'Victoria Falls' in honour of his Queen, but the indigenous name of 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' — literally meaning the 'Smoke that Thunders' — is also well known. The World Heritage List recognizes both names.While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is claimed to be the largest. This claim is based on a width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft)and height of 108 metres (354 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world. The falls' maximum flow rate compares well with that of other major waterfalls (see table below).
