KAIA KANEPI — LAURA ROBSON / 38. GBR /

7:6(6) | 7:5

Kaia won

Kaia won and will play the second time in Wimbledon quarterfinals.

Kaia's own words: "It was very tight match today. It turned out that court number 1 is much faster than other courts I have played here. It was a lot faster. It was a surprise for me when we startet to hit. They did not allow to practice at that court as well.

As it was very tight, the deciding moments were in the ends of the sets. When i was down in the first set tie break I was trying to keep playing and not to think about the scoreline. I managed to play well at important moments. In the end of the second set I played well. Matchpoints were a bit nervous, she played well on two of them, two of them I messed up myself and I managed to win the fifth.

Tomorrow my match will be at the same court and at the same time as today. She has to play very well to beat Serena. She has good serve and return, we'll see tomorrow who is stronger."

Kaia will meet Sabine Lisicki (GER, WTA 24) in the quarterfinal match tomorrow. Lisicki beat the defending champion Serana Williams (USA, WTA 1) today. Kaia has not played against Lisicki before, in Peking 2011 Kaia received a walkover from her. The match will be played tomorrow at court number 1 starting at 13 local time / 15 Estonian time.
