Tennis Betting Lines
07/27/2010 - Umag, Croatia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seeded players Philipp Petzschner and Sergiy Stakhovsky were a pair of first-round upset victims Tuesday at the clay-court Croatia Open.
Belgian Olivier Rochus, a runner-up on the grass in Newport two weeks ago, easily drove out the fifth-seeded Petzschner, of Germany, 6-2, 6-3, while Italian Potito Starace knocked off the seventh-seeded Stakhovsky, of Ukraine, 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-0 at ITC Stella Maris.
Two other Italians joined Starace in the second round, as Andreas Seppi got past Argentine Maximo Gonzalez 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 and qualifier Simone Bolelli beat Croatian wild card Antonio Veic 7-6 (7-3), 6-3.
Additional Day-2 wins came for Croatian wild card Ivan Dodig, Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas, Czech Jan Hajek and Frenchman Stephane Robert.
This week's top seeds are Russian star Nikolay Davydenko, last week's Hamburg runner-up Jurgen Melzer and long-time Croatian favorite Ivan Ljubicic. The reigning Umag champion Davydenko defeated this week's fourth seed, Juan Carlos Ferrero, in last year's finale here.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
