BALI, Indonesia, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- No. 3-seeded Sabine Lisicki won Friday at the WTA's Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions in Indonesia but top-seeded Marion Bartoli retired with an injury.
Lisicki is the only seeded player in the eight-woman event to make it to the semifinals after she won eight of the last 10 games in a 7-5, 6-2 win over Daniela Hantuchova. Lisicki fought off 9-of-10 break-point chances for Hantuchova while finishing off four of the 17 break points she had.
