Tennis Betting Lines

03/15/2010 - Indian Wells, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three-time champion Roger Federer won his second-round match Sunday at the $4.5 million BNP Paribas Open, an ATP World Tour Masters event.

Federer captured his fifth lifetime matchup without a loss against Romanian Victor Hanescu, 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1. The top-ranked Swiss Federer, who won the title from 2004-06, played his first match since capturing his 16th career Grand Slam crown at the Australian Open on January 31.

Fourth-seeded Scotsman Andy Murray also went through to the third round with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Italian Andreas Seppi. Murray is last year's runner-up, losing to Rafael Nadal in the final.

Sixth seed Robin Soderling of Sweden advanced with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Kazakhstan's Evgeny Korolev, while American Andy Roddick, the seventh seed, topped Chinese Taipei qualifier Yen-Hsun Lu, 6-4, 6-4.

Ninth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France defeated Australian Marinko Matosevic, 6-1, 6-3, but seeds 12 through 14 were all upset victims. Germany's Simon Greul upended 12th-seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils, 1-6, 6-2, 6-3; American James Blake stopped 13th-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer, 6-1, 6-4; and Israeli Dudi Sela downed 14th-seeded Czech Radek Stepanek, 6-4, 1-6, 6-2.

Tommy Robredo, the 18th seed, topped Sergiy Stakhovsky, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5. Jurgen Melzer, seeded No. 22, defeated David Nalbandian, 6-4, 6-1.

Three other seeded players fell on Sunday. No. 23 Ivo Karlovic was beaten by Nicolas Almagro, 7-5, 7-6 (7-5). Janko Tipsarevic, the 30th seed, was down 3-2 in the first set against Thiemo De Bakker when he retired due to an abdominal strain. Igor Andreev, the 32nd seed, lost 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 to Michael Russell.

Other second-round winners on Sunday were No. 24 seed Albert Montanes, No. 27 Marcos Baghdatis and No. 28 Feliciano Lopez.

Fifth-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko withdrew from the tournament due to a broken left wrist. Davydenko is expected to be sidelined the next four weeks. Because of the withdrawal, Serbian Viktor Troicki will get a walkover into the fourth round of the tournament.

This week's winner will collect $605,500.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
