Indian Wells, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sixth-seeded Jelena Jankovic snuck into
the fourth round, while third-seeded Victoria Azarenka and 14th-seeded Kim
Clijsters were third-round losers Monday at the $4.5 million BNP Paribas Open
tennis event.
Spaniard Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, the 28th seed, took down Azarenka of
Belarus 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 at the beautiful Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Another upset came when 23rd-seeded Russian Alisa Kleybanova upended former
world No. 1 Clijsters 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7-4) in two hours, 36 minutes.
The U.S. Open champion Clijsters raced out to a 4-0 lead in the third-set
tiebreaker. Kleybanova, though, ripped off the next seven points to stun
Clijsters, the Indian Wells winner in 2003 and 2005.
Jankovic of Serbia outlasted Italian Sara Errani, 2-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 in two
hours, 48 minutes to secure her spot in the fourth round. Jankovic won despite
committing 57 unforced errors, compared to 42 for Errani.
Former world No. 1 Jankovic was down two games, 4-2, in the final set before
winning the final four games to claim victory.
Eighth-seeded Aussie Samantha Stosur moved on by besting 25th-seeded Russian
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 6-3, 6-0. Pavlyuchenkova captured her first-ever WTA
title in Mexico just two weeks ago.
Russian Vera Zvonareva, the 12 seed, handled Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia,
6-2, 6-3, while Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, the 13 seed, ousted Italian Roberta
Vinci, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. Zvonareva beat Ana Ivanovic in last year's Indian Wells
finale.
In additional Day 6 action, 17th-seeded Israeli Shahar Peer upended ninth-
seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta, 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 6-1, while Spaniard Carla
Suarez Navarro took down 27th-seeded Agnes Szavay of Hungary, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1.
The 2010 Indian Wells winner will earn a hefty $700,000.

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
