Sabine Lisicki, a name that echoes through the tennis world with 4 WTA titles and a 2013 Wimbledon Finalist finish. Currently on a break due to pregnancy, she had promised one more comeback before hanging up her racket. But just months before her return, she made headlines for a reason that had nothing to do with tennis.
Attending a Tennis Reunion
The retired WTA star recently graced a heartfelt players' reunion dedicated to the legendary coach Nick Bollettieri, who passed away last year. This event brought together tennis greats, and Lisicki was among them, sharing her special moments. She posed proudly with Monica Seles, one of the finest players coached by Bollettieri, a dream moment for her. Lisicki expressed her joy, saying, "As well as @marypierce_75 who has been my idol growing up. I braid my hair on the court because of her and watched many of her practices on campus while working hard to become a pro one day myself."Expressing Gratitude
Lisicki also showed her gratitude to Tommy Haas for organizing this beautiful get-together. She added, "Thanks @tommyhaasofficial for organizing this beautiful get together. Seeing so many wonderful people and all thanks to @officialnickbollettieri. Our paths crossed because of him. There is lots to be thankful for!" Nick Bollettieri's influence on tennis training was profound, inspiring players like Lisicki and shaping their careers.Reconnecting with an Idol
During the reunion, Lisicki shared a heartfelt moment with tennis legend Monica Seles. Reflecting on her admiration, she recalled, "Seeing @monicaselesios again after many, many years and remembering how honored I felt that I could hit with her back then." This shows the lasting impact Seles had on Lisicki's tennis journey. The reunion gave her the chance to reconnect with one of her idols and honor her for her contributions to the sport.With Lisicki set to return to court next year, her fans are eagerly awaiting her final on-court appearances.
