Li stopped in her tracks, Hewitt falls short

​Li stopped in her tracks, Hewitt falls short
​Li Na's hopes of a French Open-Wimbledon double vanished on Thursday as the Chinese was beaten by wildcard Sabine Lisicki but Serena Williams, the last player to achieve the feat, continued her comeback in ominous fashion.

Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer continued their swashbuckling progress through the draw and fifth seed Robin Soderling fought back from two-sets down to beat former champion Lleyton Hewitt in an enthralling match.

Li, who became the darling of the world's most populous nation by triumphing at Roland Garros this month, squandered two match points in a 3-6 6-4 8-6 defeat under Centre Court's roof on a cool, showery day in south west London.
