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 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
