Rain postpones semifinals of Rogers Cup to Sunday

Tennis Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rain throughout the day and into the evening forced the postponement of the semifinals of the $2 million Rogers Cup to Sunday.

Second-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark was ahead 2-0 in her match against 11th-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova. The players returned to the court after 9 p.m. and warmed up, but then rain started again.

The two then played on either side of the net with a mini soccer ball to entertain the crowd before walking off the court together with smiles on their faces and signing autographs.

The match between Wozniacki and Kuznetsova will resume at 11 a.m. Sunday in Centre Court. The other semifinal between eighth-seeded Russian Vera Zvonareva, this year's Wimbledon runner-up, and 10th seed Victoria Azarenka of Belarus will commence at the same time on National Bank Court. The final is slated for 3 p.m.

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

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
