Tennis Betting Lines

07/28/2010 - Gstaad, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Recent Stuttgart champion Albert Montanes of Spain and former top-10 star Richard Gasquet were among Wednesday's second-round winners at the Swiss Open Gstaad.

The fourth-seeded Montanes, who ran the table in Stuttgart two weeks ago and is a two-time champion on the ATP World Tour this season, came from behind to defeat Austrian qualifier Andreas Haider-Maurer 3-6, 6-1, 6-0, while the seventh-seeded French Gasquet fought back to best German Daniel Brands 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-0 on the clay courts at Roy Emerson Arena. Gasquet was the Gstaad titlist back in 2006.

Montanes and Gasquet will lock horns in a quarterfinal here on Friday.

Meanwhile, last year's Gstaad runner-up, German Andreas Beck, will not be making a return trip to the final after succumbing to Spaniard Daniel Gimeno- Traver 7-5, 6-4 on Day 4. Beck lost to Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci, who dropped his first-round match here on Tuesday.

A match between Russian Igor Andreev and Swiss crowd favorite Marco Chiudinelli was suspended because of darkness, with the bout all even at 6-3, 6-7 (6-8), 6-6. Rain had interrupted play earlier in the day.

On Thursday, top seeds Mikhail Youzhny of Russia and Nicolas Almagro of Spain will play their second-rounders, against Swiss wild cards Alexander Sadecky and Michael Lammer, respectively.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
