The wait is over for Lisicki. Ventspils Europa win.

It's the semi-finals of Wimbledon today and the day of reckoning for Sabine Lisicki. After dumping out hot favourite Serena Williams she is no-doubt the darling of Wimledon. The bookies are calling both semi finals the same with Bartoli holding a 1.61 against Flipkens and Lisicki going in on around 1.66 v Radwanska.

Radwanska is a very tough player to call on. She is very safe and has a great defensive game, but I feel Lisicki has more power and will hurt her more on the serve. I'm going to enjoy these matches unless there is a real in-play opportunity.

A possible bet today may be Airbus v Ventspils in the Europa Qualification. Ventspils are from Latvia and are second in their league to Skonto Riga. They are 8-1-2, 23-12. The Welsh side are in the Championship Group of their domestic league and is harder to call, and although they are 2nd, have a splattering of wins losses and draws. I expect the price for Ventspils (currently 1.77) to fall quite a bit before KO.
