The Women's Singles semifinals bracket is complete as Wimbledon 2013 comes to a close at the end of the week. The surprising part is that there will be a new winner in the tournament as the four semifinalists have never won at the All English Club. More so, the winner of the tournament will capture her first ever grand slam title as neither of the four have ever been crowned at a major. Here's the bracket with matchups and rankings. Is there another upset left at 2013 Wimbledon?
Sabine Lisicki (23) vs. Agnieszka Radwanska (4)
This matchup features the youngest semifinalists. Radwanska is 24, while Lisicki is 23. Aside from her higher seeding, Radwanska comes into the match as the favorite. She is the 2012 Wimbledon runner-up after losing to Serena Williams. Radwanska can now smell the Finals as she is just two wins away from capturing her first grand slam title. However, speaking of Williams, she is no longer here because Lisicki eliminated her from the tournament in unprecedented fashion. Lisicki did everybody a favor by eliminating, the defending Wimbledon champion, opening the doors for new talent. This is Lisicki's second semifinal appearance in a grand slam and it came at 2011 Wimbledon.
Lisicki defeated Kaia Kanepi to earn her trip to the semis. She won by the score of 6-3, 6-3, easily dispatching the Estonian in two sets. For Radwanska, it took a combination of luck and skill to get past Na Li (6) and into the semis. Li had five chances to win the first set and she failed to capitalize on every occasion. Radwanska proved dominant and consistent despite the rain delay that briefly paused the quarterfinal meeting.
Marion Bartoli (17) vs. Kirsten Flipkens (20)
Bartoli defeated the youngest player in the tournament's quarterfinals after dispatching Sloane Stephens in two sets. Like Radwanska's match, Bartoli continued playing strong tennis even after the rain delayed the action. Bartoli was almost flawless, committing only five unforced errors while Stephens struggled to find her stroke. She will have to continue playing flawless tennis if she wants to get past Flipkens, who took out a former Wimbledon champion. Flipkens faced Petra Kivtova and defeated her in comeback fashion, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Flipkens is a great story because she is back in the tournament despite missing two straight years of Wimbledon action. This is the most unexpected run as Flipkens has never had success at the All English Club. Her best run came in 2009 when she finished third in the tournament. For Bartoli, she is the oldest player remaining in the tournament.
