That affliction, of course, won\u2019t stop her from playing in the Wimbledon final today, when either she or Marion Bartoli will end up with a first Grand Slam<\/a> title.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned how to cope with that,\u201d Lisicki said Friday. \u201cIn the beginning, the first time I was here, which was, what, five years ago, I really was struggling with the allergies.<\/p>\n

But by now I know what to do, what to take, to calm those allergies down. I\u2019m on medication.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also knows what to do on the tennis court when she steps onto the finely manicured lawn on Centre Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of challenges on my way to the finals with players being aggressive, players who were very solid, moving very well,\u201d Lisicki said. \u201cSo it will be another challenge.\u201d \u2013 AP<\/a><\/p>\n
