Top seed Davydenko latest to fall in HamburgTennis Betting Lines07/22/2010 - Hamburg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Nikolay Davydenko was the latest to fall in an upset-minded German Open Tennis Championships, as third- round play concluded Thursday. Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev dethroned the defending champ 6-4, 6-4 in a little under an hour and 30 minutes. Golubev won 73 percent of his first serves, while the Russian made good on only 27 percent of his first returns. Davydenko was just the latest seed to fall joining fifth-seeded Nicolas Almagro, eighth-seeded Albert Montanes, ninth-seeded Gilles Simon, 11th- seeded Tommy Robredo, 12th-seeded Victor Hanescu, 13th-seeded Philipp Petzschner, 15th-seeded Alexandr Dolgopolov and 16th-seeded Michael Berrer. The whole of the group were ousted by unseeded players in the second round, while Davydenko and 10th-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber were the lone seeded loser Thursday. Seventh-seeded Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci defeated Germany's Kohlschreiber, 7-5, 6-4. Austrian third seed Jurgen Melzer advanced to the quarterfinals with a hard- fought 7-5, 7-6 (7-4) win against Frenchman Jeremy Chardy, while Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero outlasted Finn Jarkko Nieminen in a 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 final as the sixth seed. Also advancing to the quarterfinals Thursday were German Florian Mayer, who polished off Maximo Gonzalez of Argentina 7-6 (7-1), 6-0; Uzbek Denis Istomin, a 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3) winner over German Julian Reister; Italian Andreas Seppi, who straight-setted countryman Fabio Fognini 6-4, 6-4; and fellow Italian Potito Starace, who advanced by way of a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Pere Riba of Spain. Golubev faces off with Istomin in the quarters, Melzer will match wits with Starace, Ferrero takes on Mayer, and Bellucci and Seppi begin play Friday.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
