Tennis Betting Lines

08/31/2010 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic was among Tuesday's opening-round winners at the 2010 U.S. Open.

The fourth-seeded Jankovic went the distance to sneak past Romanian Simona Halep 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Jankovic moved on in 2 hours, 20 minutes, despite piling up 48 unforced errors in a sloppy match on a very hot day in New York. On-court temperatures soared well over 100 degrees.

Jankovic was the 2008 U.S. Open runner-up to American great Serena Williams.

Former champion Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia joined Jankovic in the second round with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 decision against 39-year-old Japanese Kimiko Date Krumm. Kuznetsova prevailed in just under two hours on the Grandstand Court..

The two-time major champion Kuznetsova, seeded 11th at this particular fortnight, titled here in Flushing in 2004.

Eighteenth-seeded Aravane Rezai of France advanced with a 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (9-7) victory over Slovakian Magdalena Rybarikova.

Other seeded winners on Day 2 were No. 22 Spaniard Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez and No. 25 Romanian Alexandra Dulgheru.

Also reaching the round of 64 were Swiss veteran Patty Schnyder, Latvian Anastasija Sevastova, Croat Mirjana Lucic and Swede Sofia Arvidsson.

The 2010 U.S. Open champion will earn at least $1.7 million.
