Henin strolls into Zurich QFs
Tennis Betting Lines
10/18/2007 -
Zurich, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - World No. 1 star Justine Henin
was an easy second-round winner Thursday at the $1.34 million Zurich Open.
The reigning U.S. and French Open titlist Henin drilled Russian Vera Zvonareva
6-3, 6-1 on Day 4 at Hallenstadion.
The seven-time major champion Henin, who captured this Swiss event in 2003,
is now riding a 17-match winning streak, with her last loss coming against
France's Marion Bartoli in the Wimbledon semifinals in July.
The Belgian Henin's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be Polish lucky-loser
Agnieszka Radwanska, who toppled last year's Zurich runner-up Daniela
Hantuchova 6-3, 6-3. Hantuchova headed into Thursday's match battling a cold.
"I had a really hard time today trying to catch my breath in between points,"
Hantuchova said. "I have been fighting a cold for the past few days and I
really just had nothing left and became very tired out there."
The Slovakian Hantuchova, seeded seventh this week, lost to Russian Maria
Sharapova in last year's Zurich finale.
Second-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova escaped her second-round match with
a 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 decision against solid Austrian Sybille Bammer. The U.S. Open
runner-up Kuznetsova will meet Italian Francesca Schiavone here on Friday.
Schiavone disappointed the home crowd by overcoming Swiss favorite Patty
Schnyder 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. Schnyder captured the Zurich title in 2002 and was the
runner-up here in 2005.
The other quarters will pit the ninth-seeded Wimbledon runner-up Bartoli
against France's Tatiana Golovin and Czech Nicole Vaidisova versus Ukrainian
Alona Bondarenko. The surging Golovin has won 13 of her last 15
matches, including a title in Slovenia last month and a runner-up finish
against the great Henin in Stuttgart two weeks ago.
The 2007 Zurich titlist will take home $182,000.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
