"I had to make sure I came down quick enough (following the win over Serena) to be ready for today," Lisicki said afterwards.

"With the experience that I have from the last three times I played here in the quarters, I think it helped me a lot.

"It is so nice [to be back in the semi-finals]. I did it two years ago, played very well, and now I felt even more ready for this match and yesterday I had a great challenge on the way to the semis. I think it made me ready for the semis.

"There is no pressure because for me it is still a game that I love so much. I want to keep it that way.

"I am going out there for every single match trying to win and we will see what happens."
