Tennis Betting Lines

07/15/2010 - Palermo, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hot Frenchwoman Aravane Rezai and former champion and 2009 runner-up Sara Errani recorded second-round victories Thursday at the $220,000 Palermo International tennis tournament.

The second-seeded Rezai, fresh off her clay-court title in Bastad last week, got past Colombia's Mariana Duque Marino 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 on the red clay at Country Time Club.

Rezai's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be Italian wild card Romina Oprandi.

The third-seeded Errani, meanwhile, continued her winning ways in Palermo with a 6-0, 7-6 (7-4) victory over Croatian qualifier Mirjana Lucic.

The 5-foot-4 Errani is seeking her third straight trip into the Palermo final, having titled here in 2008 and lost to Flavia Pennetta in last year's all-Italian championship tilt.

Errani's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be fifth-seeded Wimbledon quarterfinalist Kaia Kanepi, as the Estonian cruised past Romania's Ioana Raluca Olaru 6-1, 6-2 on Day 4 here.

One other second-round affair saw the aforementioned Oprandi straight-set Slovenian Masa Zec Peskiric 6-4, 7-5. Oprandi is one of three Italians into the round of eight.

Friday's other quarterfinals will pit a top-seeded Pennetta against Spanish qualifier Nuria Llagostera Vives and eighth-seeded German Julia Goerges against 36-year-old American Jill Craybas. The world No. 12 Pennetta beat Errani in last year's final here and was the Palermo runner-up back in 2004.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.

MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
