Tennis Betting Lines
01/30/2012 -
Vina del Mar, Chile (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sixth-seeded Santiago Giraldo of
Colombia and eighth-seeded Italian Filippo Volandri were both upset Monday in
the first round of the $398,250 VTR Open tennis event.
Giraldo was knocked off by Argentina's Leonardo Mayer, who needed just 91
minutes for a 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 win at Club Naval de Campo Las Salinas.
Last year, Giraldo made the clay-court final but lost to Spaniard Tommy
Robredo, who is not defending his title this week.
Brazil's Joao Souza rallied to dismiss Volandri in three sets, 1-6, 7-5, 7-6
(7-5); while Russia's Igor Andreev topped Chile's Paul Capdeville 3-6, 6-3,
6-4 in the day's third and final match.
Tuesday's schedule will feature matches for Chileans Fernando Gonzalez and
Nicolas Massu. Gonzalez has won this event four times and was a runner-up in
2005, while Massu is a two-time Vina del Mar finalist.
This week's top seeds are Argentines Juan Monaco and Juan Ignacio Chela.
The 2012 Vina del Mar champion will collect $71,900.

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.
