German sets up clash of the titans with Maria Sharapova after beating Bartoli to make semi-finals
One Betfair punter stands two games away from a life-changing win after Sabine Lisicki advanced into the semi-finals of Wimbledon today.
A total of £8 has been traded on the German at a massive [1000.0] - the highest price available on the exchange - to win Wimbledon as the tournament has unfolded.
She now trades at a somewhat smaller [6.2] ahead of her semi-final against Maria Sharapova following a hard-fought three-set win over Marion Bartoli in the first of the ladies singles quarter-finals today.
