08/26/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded 2009 runner-up Caroline Wozniacki and second-seeded reigning champion Kim Clijsters could meet in a rematch of last year's final, as the women's draw was revealed Thursday for the U.S. Open, the final Grand Slam event of the year.
Wozniacki, who was installed as the top seed in New York after world No. 1 Serena Williams pulled out of the 2010 U.S. Open last week, will open her stay against American wild card Chelsey Gullickson, while the two-time champion Clijsters will take on Hungarian Greta Arn in her opener next week.
The 13-time major champion and reigning Wimbledon and Australian Open titlist Williams will be the first women's world No. 1 to miss the U.S. Open, as she continues to recover from some foot surgery that was required after she cut herself on some broken glass in a restaurant last month.
Wozniacki could face former U.S. Open champion and former No. 1 Maria Sharapova in the fourth round, while potential quarterfinal opponents could be another former New York winner, Svetlana Kuznetsova, or eighth-seeded Chinese Li Na. The 14th-seeded three-time major champion Sharapova will open up against Aussie Jarmila Groth, while the 11th-seeded two-time Grand Slam titlist Kuznetsova will be opposed by 39-year-old Japanese Kimiko Date Krumm in round one and the Aussie Open semifinalist Li will encounter Ukrainian Kateryna Bondarenko.
The world no. 2 Wozniacki's semifinal opponent could be fourth-seeded Jelena Jankovic or seventh-seeded Wimbledon runner-up Vera Zvonareva. The former world No. 1 and 2008 U.S. Open runner-up Jankovic and Zvonareva could square off in the quarters. Jankovic will face Romanian Simona Halep in her opener, while Zvonareva will battle a qualifier.
The former No. 1 Clijsters could face the likes of fifth-seeded French Open runner-up Samantha Stosur or 12th-seeded 2004 U.S. Open runner-up Elena Dementieva in the quarters. Stosur will meet Russian Elena Vesnina, while the two-time major runner-up Dementieva will tangle with Belarusian Olga Govortsova in round one.
Potential semifinal opponents for Clijsters could be third-seeded two-time U.S. Open champ and former top-ranked star Venus Williams, sixth-seeded French Open titlist Francesca Schiavone or 10th-seeded Victoria Azarenka. Venus, who will open up against Italian Roberta Vinci, and Schiavone, who will be opposed by Japan's Ayumi Morita in the round of 128, could meet in the quarterfinals.
Clijsters was a straight-set winner against Wozniacki in last year's finale here and became the first mother to capture a Grand Slam title in 29 years in the process.
The U.S. Open will get underway Monday in Flushing Meadows.

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.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
