Djokovic reaches fourth straight U.S. Open semi
Tennis Betting Lines
09/08/2010 -
Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former runner-up Novak Djokovic was
an easy quarterfinal winner Wednesday at the U.S. Open.
The third-seeded Djokovic handled 17th-seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils 7-6
(7-2), 6-1, 6-2 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
A tough first set went to Djokovic when Monfils played a rather poor tiebreak,
and the second set was a throw-away one for the Frenchman, as the Serb simply
dominated the stanza.
In the third set, Monfils had a chance to break Djokovic to pull within 3-4
and then serve to tie things up, but the Serb managed a key hold to go up 5-2
and then broke his French counterpart to reach the semis.
Djokovic moved on in 2 hours, 28 minutes, as he broke Monfils no less than
seven times en route to victory. The Serb tallied 13 more unforced errors
(50-37) on Day 10 of the fortnight, but he also connected for 21 more winners
(38-17).
The 23-year-old Djokovic is now a perfect 5-0 lifetime against Monfils,
including a first-round win here in New York back in 2005.
Djokovic awaits Wednesday night's Roger Federer-Robin Soderling victor.
The former world No. 2 Djokovic will perform in his fourth U.S. Open and ninth
career Grand Slam semifinal (2-6). The steady Serbian star was the 2007 U.S.
Open runner-up to the great Federer and captured the Aussie Open championship
in 2008.
Two more quarterfinals will be staged here on Thursday, when top-ranked Rafael
Nadal meets eighth-seeded fellow Spanish lefthander Fernando Verdasco and
12th-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny takes on 25th-seeded Swiss Stanislas
Wawrinka. Nadal is the reigning Wimbledon and French Open champ and owns eight
major titles overall, but he still needs a U.S. Open one to complete a rare
men's career Grand Slam. Youzhny reached the final four here back in 2006.
Nadal is a laughable 10-0 lifetime against Verdasco, including 2-0 in Grand
Slam events.

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
