Tennis Betting Lines
06/19/2007 - 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo and third-seeded Argentine Guillermo Canas were among Tuesday's first-round winners at the grass-court Ordina Open, a final Wimbledon tune-up.
Robredo held off Dutch qualifier Michel Koning 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), while Canas snuck past Latvian Ernests Gulbis 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 at Autotron Rosmalen. Canas, making his first grass-court appearance in two years, was a finalist here back in 2001.
A series of upsets occurred on Day 3, as Argentine Carlos Berlocq took out fifth-seeded former world No. 1 Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero 2-6, 6-3, 6-2; Frenchman Julien Benneteau bounced sixth-seeded Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela 6-4, 6-4; Argentine Sergio Roitman knocked out seventh-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-2, retired; and Serbian Janko Tipsarevic vaulted past eighth- seeded Frenchman Marc Gicquel 6-4, 6-2. Kohlschreiber gave way to a shoulder injury against Roitman.
Other winners were Swiss lucky-loser Yves Allegro, German qualifier Michael Berrer and Czech lucky-loser Lukas Dlouhy.
The second round will be staged here on Wednesday, including matches for Robredo, second-seeded Croat Ivan Ljubicic and Canas. Robredo will encounter Belgian Kristof Vliegen, while Ljubicic will meet Italian Andreas Seppi and Canas will take on Berrer.
Wimbledon 2007 will commence Monday at the All England Club.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
