Tennis Betting Lines

01/13/2012 - Sydney, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Third-seeded Belarusian Victoria Azarenka defeated reigning champion Li Na in Friday's final at the $637,000 Sydney International tennis tournament, a final Australian Open tuneup.

Azarenka earned a 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 victory after employing a strong return game in the third set at Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre. She won 52 percent of the points on return and broke Li twice, while also saving 3-of-4 break points.

She picked up her ninth career title and won a second consecutive match against Li, having defeated her in the season-ending WTA Championships last year. The 22-year-old is 3-4 all-time against Li, who won their meeting in last season's Aussie Open on the way to a final appearance.

The fourth-seeded Li was seeking her sixth career title, but appears to have improved form after a rough end to 2011. She captured her first major title at the French Open, but reached the semifinals of just one more tournament the rest of the year.

Azarenka earned $107,000 for winning the tournament, whose draw featured nine of the top 10 women in the world.
