The great comeback: Sabine Lisicki way

"I always believed. Always. No matter what happened. I can still remember when the doctor told me that I have to be on crutches the next six weeks. That period made me such a much stronger person and player. I know anything is possible after learning how to walk again." - Sabine Lisicki

No one except she might have thought that she would make such a great comeback. The comeback was so powerful that she almost made it to the top! I am here talking about Sabine Lisicki, the finalist of the Women Wimbledon Championships 2013. Though she couldn't win the title, her journey up to the final was remarkable and inspirational for anybody.

She could have made the very big moment possible some years back. But due to her ankle injury in 2010, she had to remain on crutches for weeks. The injury was so serious that she was unable to walk. It was not sure whether she could return to the court or not. This had threatened her tennis career that she love from her childhood.

Her world ranking dropped from 23 before the injury to 218 by mid March 2011. But as she said, that period made her stronger person. She always believed that she could do it again. She couldn't stop in the middle of her career. He couldn't give up so soon.

On her way to the final in Wimbledon this year, she also beat Serena Williams in the fourth round. This should never have been an easy job to beat 16 times single Grand Slam winner. Though she lost the final match to Marion Bartoli, it seems certain that we are to see Lisicki winning many titles in the coming days.

So even if something is not right at the moment, never lose hope. Have faith and believe in your power that you can do.
