Tennis Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - 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.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
