Wimbledon 2013: Top 5 women's third round matches to watch out for

The Championships - Wimbledon 2013: Day Three

Sabine Lisicki (23) v Samantha Stosur (14) (Head-to-head: Stosur leads 4-1)

The Championships - Wimbledon 2013: Day Two

One of them has her game tailor-made for grass and the other one has her game suited for the claycourts. Does that give a clear indication of who will emerge the winner? If one has a look at their head-to-head record, it will be seen that the former US Open champion Samantha Stosur, who is known for her clay prowess, has won four of their five matches. Nevertheless, Sabine Lisicki has a wonderful connection with the hallowed turf of SW19 and it brings the best out of her.

She loves these courts and performs admirably well with this year being no exception so far. Her movement, serve, shot selection has so far been impeccable and she has looked lethal. Stosur, on the other hand is trying to shake off her grass demons and has said her positive attitude is finally working well for her on the verdant green lawns. She is determined, looks intrepid but would that be enough to pierce the German barrier and her soaring self-belief?

Prediction: Lisicki wins in straight sets.
