Tennis Betting Lines
02/09/2012 - Pattaya City, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending champion Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia and American Vania King were among the second-round winners Thursday at the Pattaya Open.
The third-seeded Hantuchova notched a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Poland's Urszula Radwanska and will next face the eighth-seeded King in the quarterfinals. King eased past Russia's Alla Kudryavtseva, 6-1, 6-3.
Hantuchova has now reached the quarterfinals for the third time in four events this year. She lost to Kaia Kanepi in the final at the season-opening Brisbane International and was a quarterfinal loser to Petra Kvitova the following week in Sydney before a third-round loss to Kim Clijsters at the Australian Open.
On the way to the Brisbane final, Hantuchova knocked off King in the second round and is now 6-0 all-time against the 23-year-old Florida resident. King, whose lone WTA title came in Thailand at the Bangkok event in 2006, last reached a quarterfinal last September in Seoul.
India's Sania Mirza, the 2009 Pattaya Open runner-up, also moved into the quarters with a 6-4, 7-5 triumph over Britain's Anne Keothavong and will next take on Taiwanese qualifier Su-Wei Hsieh, who knocked off Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm, 7-5, 6-0.
Friday's other quarterfinal matchups will pit top-seeded Vera Zvonareva, the Pattaya champ in 2009 and 2010, against seventh-seeded Sorana Cirstea and fourth-seeded Russian Maria Kirilenko against crowd favorite Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand, the Pattaya runner-up in 1996 and last year.
The 2012 champion will collect $37,000.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
