Tennis Betting Lines

07/18/2010 - Bastad, Sweden (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Spain's Nicolas Almagro denied Robin Soderling a second straight title in his native country with a three-set win in Sunday's final of the Swedish Open.

Almagro earned a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 victory over the top-seeded Soderling for his sixth career ATP Tour title and first since winning in Acapulco in February of 2009.

Soderling fell to 5-10 all-time in ATP finals, including 1-3 this year. He won in Rotterdam back in February before losses in Barcelona and the French Open in addition to Sunday's setback.

Almagro, who lost to Soderling in the second round of the Madrid Open earlier this year, broke serve in the 11th game of Sunday's match and held serve in the next game to take the first set.

Soderling regrouped and won the first three games of the second set on the way to forcing a decisive third. Almagro, though, gained the crucial break for a 4-2 lead and won the next two games to close it out.

Almagro, seeded fourth this year, lost to fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in the 2007 Bastad final. He is 6-2 all-time in ATP title matches.

Soderling and Almagro have now split six all-time meetings.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
