Nadal, Federer could meet in U.S. Open final

Tennis Betting Lines

08/26/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - World No. 1 Rafael Nadal and former top-ranked superstar Roger Federer could meet in the final at the 2010 U.S. Open, which revealed the men's draw on Thursday.

The top-seeded Nadal will open his stay in New York against Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili, while the five-time champion and 2009 runner-up Federer will face Argentine Brian Dabul in the round of 128 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Nadal could face eighth-seeded fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco or 31st- seeded very dangerous Argentine David Nalbandian in the quarterfinals, while his potential semifinal opponent could be fourth-seeded Andy Murray or seventh-seeded Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych. Murray will open up against Slovakian Lukas Lacko, while Berdych will meet capable Frenchman Michael Llodra in round one. Murray was this year's Australian Open runner-up to Federer and lost to the Swiss icon in the 2008 U.S. Open finale. Berdych succumbed to Nadal in last month's Wimbledon title tilt.

The eight-time major titlist Nadal could only face his great rival Federer on the final day of the year's last Grand Slam event. The reigning Wimbledon and French Open champion Nadal still needs a U.S. Open title to complete a career Grand Slam. Federer became only the sixth man to accomplish that feat when he titled at Roland Garros last season.

Nadal has yet to reach a U.S. Open final.

Federer, who owns a men's record 16 major titles, could face two-time French Open runner-up Robin Soderling in the quarters. while his potential semifinal opponents could be third-seeded Novak Djokovic, sixth-seeded Nikolay Davydenko or ninth-seeded American favorite Andy Roddick. Djokovic lost to Federer in the 2007 final here, while Roddick captured his lone Grand Slam title here in New York seven years ago and lost to the amazing Federer in the 2006 final at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The former Aussie Open champion Djokovic will open against fellow Serb Viktor Troicki, while the fifth-seeded Soderling will open against a qualifier, Davydenko will meet American journeyman Michael Russell in round one, and Roddick will take on Frenchman Stephane Robert in the round of 128.

Djokovic and Roddick could square off in the quarters.

Federer lost to Argentine Juan Martin del Potro in last year's five-set men's final, but del Potro will not be on hand to defend his title this year as he continues to recover from right wrist surgery.

The 2010 U.S. Open will commence Monday in Flushing Meadows.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
