Tennis Betting Lines

08/26/2010 - New Haven, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two-time champion James Blake was a second-round loser, while top-seeded Marcos Baghdatis was a third-round winner Wednesday at the $750,000 Pilot Pen Tennis event, a final hardcourt U.S. Open tune-up.

The Cypriot Baghdatis, a former Aussie Open runner-up and finalist at the U.S. Open Series event in Washington, D.C. three weeks ago, dropped the first set to 14th-seeded Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina, but rallied to win 1-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Seventh-seeded rising Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov dismissed the wild card Blake in 6-4, 6-2 fashion at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale in a match that was suspended because of rain here on Tuesday night. The struggling former top-five star Blake, who grew up in nearby Fairfield, captured New Haven titles in 2005 and 2007.

Dolgopolov also had to play his third-round match on Wednesday, but fell to 10th-seeded Serbian Viktor Troicki 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-1), 6-2.

Mild third-round upsets came when Russian qualifier Teymuraz Gabashvili grounded fifth-seeded Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (9-7) and 12th-seeded Dutchman Thiemo De Bakker drove out eighth-seeded German Florian Mayer 6-7 (2-7), 6-1, 7-5. Lastly, Radek Stepnaek of the Czech Republic downed 16th-seeded Romanian Victor Hanescu 7-6 (7-4), 6-7 (4-7), 6-4.

In other third-round play, 15th-seeded Uzbekistanian Denis Istomin held off Slovakian Lukas Lacko 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 and Russian Evgeny Korolev topped Ukrainian Illya Marchenko 7-6 (7-5), 6-4.

Stakhovsky reached the third round with a 2-6, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-1) come-from- behind victory over Aussie Peter Luczak, while another second-round result saw Troicki handle Finnish veteran Jarkko Nieminen 7-5, 6-3.

The final third-round match between sixth-seeded Tommy Roberdo and ninth- seeded Sergiy Stakhovsky was suspended due to rain with the first set tied 6-6.

The 2010 Pilot Pen champion will collect $93,630.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
