  • Sabine Lisicki taken off on stretcher, After blowing 5-2 lead in final set.

    Sabine Lisicki taken off on stretcher, After blowing 5-2 lead in final set.
    One point away. That's how farSabine Lisickiwas from upsetting No. 3 seed Vera Zvonareva in the second round of the French Open. The 21-year-old German held a match point at 5-2 in the third set, would go on to lose the game and was forced to take an injury timeout after getting broken in the next one, the result of heavy cramping.
    After an eight-minute break, a hobbled Sabine Lisicki returned, to no avail. She would lose the match 4-6, 7-5, 7-5. When it was over, Sabine Lisicki lay sobbing face down on the clay, in emotional and physical pain, and would have to be taken off by a stretcher.
    ESPN reported later that Lisicki received treatement and was recovering in a medical tent. (S)

    Danica Patrick-Race Queen Driving in Her Last Indy 500?
    Danica PatrickContinues To Improve in NASCAR Likely Ending Her Run Indy Career
    Danica Patrick has fame, fortune, looks, brains but that is not enough.
    While there is still a week to go before the engines get started at the Indianapolis 500, talk has already begun about Patrick making a full-time jump into NASCAR next season.
    That would effectively mean that his is the last time Danica Patrick will take an open wheel car to the finish line of an Indianapolis 500.
    Danica Patrick finished last season in the Nationwide Series with four top-22 finishes in her final six races while racing sporadically during the year.
    Obviously the consistency of racing in consecutive weeks made a difference and we see that translating this year as well.
    Patrick started the first three races this year all inside the top-20, including a fourth place finish at Las Vegas.
    She did wreck at Bristol and finished 33rd, but the improvement is obviously noted.
    There may be no better time to capitalize on this opprortunity.
    While Danica Patrick has been remarkably more successful in the IndyCar series, she's making moves at the right time in NASCAR. (S)
