Tennis Betting Lines

02/12/2010 - Costa do Sauipe, Brazil (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Juan Carlos Ferrero was an easy quarterfinal winner Friday at the $500,000 clay-court Brasil Open.

The 2007 Costa do Sauipe runner-up Ferrero blew past Argentine qualifier Carlos Berlocq 6-3, 6-2 in 1 hour, 31 minutes.

The clay-court loving Ferrero is a former world No. 1 and a former French Open champion.

In a battle between a pair of Brazilian players, Ricardo Mello took down third-seeded Thomaz Bellucci 6-3, 7-6 (7-3).

Bellucci was fresh off his title in Santiago last week, and was last year's Brasil Open runner-up to Spaniard Tommy Robredo.

Fourth-seeded Russian Igor Andreev booked a spot in the semifinals by blasting sixth-seeded Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay 6-1, 6-1, while Lukasz Kubot of Poland handled Italian Fabio Fognini 6-3, 6-1.

The second round had to wrap-up on Friday, after four matches were postponed because of all-day rain here on Thursday. Kubot ousted second-seeded Spaniard Albert Montanes 6-2, 6-2; Bellucci blitzed Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver 6-4, 6-2; the wild card Mello doused fifth-seeded Romanian Victor Hanescu 7-5, 6-3; and Fognini came back to beat Spaniard Marcel Granollers 0-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-1) at Costa do Sauipe-Salvador.

The 2010 Brasil Open titlist will pocket $75,700.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
