Australia fined for Davis Cup decision

Tennis Betting Lines

05/22/2009 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The International Tennis Federation has decided to fine Tennis Australia for its decision not to travel to India for a Davis Cup zonal match in Chennai.

The ITF levied a fine of $10,000, but did not suspend Australia from competition or relegate the nation from world group to zonal play. However, Australia will not be able to host its next scheduled home Davis Cup tie and will have to pay an undetermined cost to both the ITF and the All India Tennis Association.

Australia was scheduled to play a zonal matchup in India from May 8-10, but decided against traveling to Chennai over security concerns. The ITF, in turn, declared India the winner by forfeit.

At the time, Tennis Australia said it was concerned about sending its players to a country where terrorist attacks last November killed more than 150 people in Mumbai.

The ITF, however, said it was satisfied with the security plan and added that an independent security consultant was brought in because of Tennis Australia's concerns.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
