Tennis Betting Lines

07/13/2010 - Prague, Czech Republic (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Czech favorite Lucie Safarova and No. 2 seed Alexandra Dulgheru were among Tuesday's first-round winners at the $220,000 Prague Open tennis event.

Safarova handled Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova 6-4, 7-5, while the Romanian Dulgheru held off Italian veteran Tathiana Garbin 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 on the red clay at Stvanice.

Fifth-seeded Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues whipped Czech wild card Kristyna Pliskova 6-1, 6-3, while last week's Budapest titlist, Agnes Szavay, stayed hot with a 6-4, 6-3 beating of Romanian qualifier Liana Ungur, and eighth- seeded Czech Barbora Zahlavova Strycova stifled compatriot Andrea Hlavackova 6-2, 6-4. The Hungarian Szavay is seeded seventh this week.

Unseeded Swiss veteran Patty Schnyder, who succumbed to Szavay in the Budapest finale for a second straight year this past weekend, moved on here Tuesday with a 6-7 (2-7), 6-4, 6-1 come-from-behind victory over Kazakhstan's Zarina Diyas.

A Day-2 upset occurred when Romanian Monica Niculescu dismissed third-seeded Swiss Timea Bacsinszky 6-3, 7-5.

Fourth-seeded Czech favorite Klara Zakopalova pulled out of the draw and was replaced by Austrian lucky-loser Tamira Paszek, who fell to France's Alize Cornet 7-6 (7-4), 6-7 (3-7), 6-4, while long-time Czech favorite Iveta Benesova moved on with a 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2 decision against Bosnian qualifier Mervana Jugic-Salkic.

Other opening-round wins came for Czechs Lucie Hradecka and lucky-loser Eva Hrdinova, Colombian qualifier Catalina Castano, and qualifier Ksenia Pervak, who bested former top-10 fellow Russian Anna Chakvetadze 6-2, 6-3.
