Lisicki, a Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2011, will play Estonia's Kaia Kanepi for a place in the last four, reports Xinhua.

Second seed Victoria Azarenka and world number three Maria Sharapova were knocked out of the women's tournament, while seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal suffered shock exits from the men's draw in the first week.
