Tennis Betting Lines

08/20/2010 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wimbledon runner-up Vera Zvonareva upset U.S. Open champion Kim Clijsters in Friday's quarterfinal action at the $2 million Rogers Cup, a hardcourt U.S. Open tune-up.

The eighth-seeded Zvonareva came from behind to dismiss the fifth-seeded Clijsters in 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 fashion on the hardcourts at Uniprix Stadium. The Russian prevailed in 2 hours, 7 minutes, with the help of nine double faults from her Belgian counterpart. Zvonareva, herself, piled up eight double faults, but broke Clijsters' serve on a whopping seven occasions en route to victory.

The former world No. 1 Clijsters, who was fresh off her title in Cincinnati last week, captured this Rogers Cup event, in Toronto, in 2005.

Zvonareva lost to Serena Williams in last month's Wimbledon finale.

In one of the two night matches, second-seeded Caroline Wozniacki advanced to the semifinals with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over sixth-seeded Francesca Schiavone, this year's French Open champion. Wozniacki was the runner-up at last year's U.S. Open.

The other night match saw 10th-seeded Victoria Azarenka, No. 13 in the world, take down 17th-seeded Marion Bartoli 6-2, 7-6 (8-6). Azarenka titled in Stanford three weeks ago and has now won nine of her last 10 matches.

Meanwhile, 11th-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova continued her recent winning ways with a 6-1, 6-3 rout of Chinese Zheng Jie on Day 5. The two-time major champion Kuznetsova has won nine of her last 10 matches, including a title in San Diego two weeks ago.

Zvonareva and Azarenka will do battle in the semifinals and the other match will see Wozniacki take on Kuznetsova.

This week's winner will earn $350,000.
