Tennis Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - New Haven, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nadia Petrova and Caroline Wozniacki each won their semifinal matches to reach the championship match at the $600,000 Pilot Pen Tennis event, a final hardcourt U.S. Open tune-up.

The world No. 2 and top-seeded Wozniacki dropped her first set in the night match, but won the second-set and prevailed in a third-set tiebreak to down fourth-seeded Russian Elena Dementieva 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5).

The Danish Wozniacki is the two-time reigning champ here and is fresh off a title in Montreal on Monday. She'll be the top seed at the U.S. Open, which starts Monday in New York.

Wozniacki will be going for her fourth title of the year and 10th in her career.

The eighth-seeded Petrova snuck past her unseeded compatriot Maria Kirilenko 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 in just under two hours at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale.

The 28-year-old 19th-ranked Petrova will appear in her 20th career final and seek a 10th championship. The former top-10 Muscovite hasn't titled on tour since 2008, which was also the last year she reached a finale.

The two finalists have played each other three times before, with Wozniacki taking two of the matches. Both of Wozniacki's wins against Petrova have come this year as she defeated the Russian at Indian Wells and Charleston.

Saturday's winner will pocket $98,500.

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)
