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.

Big East Conference odds

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence

Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.

Work left to do:

Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.

Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.

DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...

West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.

Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
