Yes. Flipkens had to finish a match from yesterday, while Petrova was already in the semifinals.

I could not pull the trigger on Flipkens here; I did have her over Vinci but she takes a step up in class now.

That said, there is no betting against her as she has yet to drop a set and has been superb this week.

I want to bet Germany ML so badly, but I'm terrified of a draw in regular time ... I've been on such a horrible cold streak when making big soccer bets. It seems it doesn't matter who I pick. They're going to draw or lose no matter what

What time they play today?

They're supposed to start after the Ferrer/Paire match concludes, but there's a weather delay at the moment ... so not exactly sure what time it will begin.

PHT, fair enough. if you don't have a good vibe for a game, it is wise to lay off. For myself, I just think when you get into sudden death stages of a big tourney, the motivation for both teams becomes pretty high and about the same. however, the clinical nature/quality of the German side should carry them through. Yes, Greece will definitely park the bus in front of their goal, but I think you are playing with fire for 90+ minutes when you do that and you need a Petr Cech or Joe Hart in goal.... the Greeks don't have that keeper. Also if Greece is hoping for a counter, I think that the Baotang's return to the German back four is huge. I see a 60% - 40% possession game for Germany, and a likelihood of 2-0. So, I will unloud big on Germany ML, but also do a sizeable bet on Germany -1.

Then again, maybe just better to watch and enjoy though.

You definitely know a lot more about soccer than I. You're probably right that Germany will roll, but I haven't been confident about any of my soccer bets lately because they all keep finding ways to not win.

My bad luck has nothing to do with what will happen on the pitch today. A small play would be smarter for me because I'm on a cold streak in soccer.
