His service all over the place, Maria Sharapova won the 13 double faults from Thursday to win the wild card Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 6-3 and return to the Wimbledon final.

It will play for the title against Petra Kvitova, who reached his first grand final by hitting nine aces in the victory 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 against Victoria Azarenka in the semifinals of the opening.

Sharapova, who won the first of his three Grand Slam crowns at the All England Club in 2004, had two double faults in her opening match voice service, the other gave his opponent a break. She had two more, while finishing 3-0, but saved a break point before winning 12 of last 16 matches.

“I felt like I was just rushing things, my first serve,” Sharapova said. “She’s someone that has pretty big swings and likes to take charge and hit the ball. I didn’t really want to give her too many looks on second serves. I think maybe I overthought it too much.”

The turning point may have come about to rupture recorded first. Lisicki with tennis nearly flawless tennis through the first three games, the drop shots that were so effective against Marion Bartoli in the quarterfinals. But this one went into the net, putting the score at deuce and giving momentum to Sharapova.

Even though Sharapova’s first serve didn’t get much better, his game when the ball is in play has, sending forehand and back hand corners and crosses numerous than the opponent.
