Clijsters into QFs; Dementieva upended in Montreal
Tennis Betting Lines
08/19/2010 -
Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - U.S. Open champion Kim Clijsters was an easy
third-round victor, while defending Rogers Cup champ Elena Dementieva was an
upset victim Thursday at this $2 million Canadian event, a U.S. Open tune-
up.
The fifth-seeded former world No. 1 Clijsters pummeled Estonian Kaia Kanepi
6-2, 6-1 on the hardcourts at Uniprix Stadium. The big-serving Kanepi was a
surprise Wimbledon quarterfinalist last month.
Clijsters is the reigning U.S. Open champ and fresh off her title in
Cincinnati last week. She captured this Rogers Cup tournament, in Toronto, in
2005.
Up next for Clijsters in Friday's quarterfinals will be quality Russian Vera
Zvonareva.
Chinese Zheng Jie stunned a fourth-seeded Dementieva in 7-6 (7-3), 6-4
fashion. Zheng was a surprise Aussie Open semifinalist back in January.
The two-time major runner-up and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Dementieva beat
former No. 1 Maria Sharapova in last year's all-Russian Rogers Cup finale in
Toronto, as this event shifts between Toronto and Montreal each year.
Former top-10 star Svetlana Kuznetsova continued her recent winning ways by
ousting seventh-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 on Day 4. The
11th-seeded two-time major champion Kuznetsova corralled her eighth win in
nine tries on Thursday and was a titlist in San Diego two weeks ago.
Kuznetsova's quarterfinal opponent will be Zheng.
The aforementioned eighth-seeded Zvonareva added another win to her great
summer, as she cooled off red-hot Hungarian Agnes Szavay in straight sets,
6-3, 6-3. Szavay had won her last 12 matches heading into Thursday and was
seeking a third title in three events, with recent titles coming in Budapest
and Prague.
Zvonareva was the Wimbledon runner-up to the great Serena Williams last month.
Meanwhile, surging 10th-seeded Belarusian Victoria Azarenka drilled ninth-
seeded Chinese Li Na 6-3, 6-3 and 17th-seeded former Wimbledon runner-up
Marion Bartoli of France leveled Czech qualifier Iveta Benesova 6-0, 6-1. The
lefthanded Benesova stunned top-seeded former world No. 1 Serb Jelena Jankovic
here in the second round.
The world No. 13 Azarenka titled in Stanford three weeks ago and has now won
eight of her last nine matches.
Azarenka and Bartoli will lock horns here on Friday.
This week's winner will earn $350,000.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
NFL Super Bowl Betting
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
