( CNN ) -- Sabine Lisicki survived another emotional roller coaster to claim her place in the women 's singles final at Wimbledon with a thrilling three-set victory over fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska Thursday . The 23rd seed from Germany will play Marion Bartoli of France Saturday , the winners progressing to the title match by vastly contrasting routes . 15th seed Bartoli took little over an hour to end the dream run of Belgian Kirsten Flipkens 6-1 6-2 in the first semifinal . Lisicki , who caused the upset of all upsets when she dispatched defending champion Serena Williams on Monday , was again taken the full distance by Radwanska before winning 4-6 2-6 9-7 in two hours 18 minutes of compelling action on Centre Court . Like in her match against No.1 seed Williams , Lisicki trailed by a break in the decider and looked to be heading for the exit door until summoning up a stirring comeback . `` In the third set I was down 3-0 and I thought ' I did it against Serena , I can do it again , '' she told BBC Sport . `` It was unbelievable , I think the last few games were so exciting . It was a battle and I 'm just so happy to have won it , '' she added . Radwanska , beaten by Williams in last year 's final , appeared to have taken a stranglehold on the match when she recovered from an early break down in the second set to win eight of the next nine games . But the 23-year-old Lisicki , who has become an instant crowd favorite at SW19 , battled back to serve for the match at 5-4 , only to be broken again . Radwanska kept on the pressure to force Lisicki to hold her own service twice to stay in the championship but in the 15th game fell behind again . Serving for a place in the final for the second time , Lisicki held her nerve and took it on her second match point before falling to the turf in trademark celebration . Bartoli , who revealed after her victory that she had taken a half hour nap shortly before coming out for one of the most important matches of her career , emerged from her slumbers to dismiss 20th seed Flipkens . Looking to follow in the footsteps of famous compatriots such as Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin , Flipkens looked nervous and tentative from the start and could not repeat the form which had seen her knock out 2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova . `` I was asleep from 12 until 1230 , you can ask the physio , '' Bartoli said . `` And I was still razor-sharp right from the start . '' She put out Henin in the 2007 semifinals before going on to lose in straight sets to Venus Williams and will be looking to go one better against Lisicki , who is appearing in her first grand slam final . Lisicki will bid to become the first German to win a major since Steffi Graf in the 1999 French Open . She revealed that Graf had sent her a good luck text ahead of her semifinal against Radwanska . In other Wimbledon action Thursday , top seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan of the United States beat Rohan Bopanna ( India ) and Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France 6-7 6-4 6-3 5-7 6-3 to reach the final of the men 's doubles . The Bryans will play the Croatian-Brazil pair of Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo after they beat the Indian and Czech combination of Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek , also in five sets .
