My Take
Sabine Lisicki's serve is what stays with me. Standing 178 cm, the German generated some of the most ferocious deliveries the women's game has seen, and on grass she looked like she belonged. She turned pro in 2006, then announced herself with a 2009 Wimbledon quarterfinal run and her first WTA title at the Family Circle Cup. Her career had its swings, but that explosive ceiling was singular. What I find most human is the contrast between her shotmaking boldness and the fragility that sometimes crept in. I valued her not just for results but for the all-or-nothing flair she brought to every match.
