Schiavone ousted in Istanbul
Tennis Betting Lines
07/29/2010 - Istanbul, Turkey (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - French Open champion Francesca Schiavone was a second-round loser Thursday at the $220,000 Istanbul Cup hardcourt tennis event.
Britain's Elena Baltacha sent the top-seeded Schiavone packing 6-4, 6-2 in 1 hour, 25 minutes on Day 4 here. The 26-year-old Baltacha piled up five service breaks in the upset.
Schiavone became the first-ever Italian woman to capture a Grand Slam title in June when she ran the table in stunning fashion at Roland Garros.
Meanwhile, third-seeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova waltzed into the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-2 drubbing of Slovakian Magdalena Rybarikova.
Pavlyuchenkova's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be Romanian Sorana Cirstea, who cooled off Swede Johanna Larsson, 6-4, 6-4. The 21-year-old Larsson reached her first career WTA Tour final last week in Slovenia.
One other second-rounder saw Aussie Jarmila Groth ground Russian Anna Lapushchenkova 6-2, 6-3.
The other quarterfinals will pit sixth-seeded German Andrea Petkovic against Baltacha, Russian Elena Vesnina versus Aussie Anastasia Rodionova and Groth against Russian and reigning Istanbul champion Vera Dushevina, who doused Czech Lucie Hradecka in last year's finale here.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
