07/12/2010 -
Palermo, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wimbledon semifinalist Tsvetana Pironkova
and Wimbledon quarterfinalist Kaia Kanepi were among Monday's opening-round
winners at the $220,000 Palermo International tennis tournament.
The fourth-seeded Pironkova, of Bulgaria, got past Italian wild card Anna
Floris 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), while the fifth-seeded Kanepi, of Estonia, defeated
Paraguayan veteran Rossana de los Rios 7-5, 6-4 on the red clay at Country
Time Club. Pironkova's second-round opponent will be 36-year-old American Jill
Craybas.
Craybas fought her way past Uzbekistan's Akgul Amanmuradova 7-6 (12-10), 7-5,
while another first-round result saw Colombia's Mariana Duque Marino handle
Slovakian Zuzana Kucova 6-4, 6-0.
Sixth-seeded Peng Shaui pulled out of the draw here on Monday, citing a left
ankle injury.
This week's top seeds are Italian favorite Flavia Pennetta, last week's Bastad
titlist Aravane Rezai and another Italian, Sara Errani.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
