Tennis Betting Lines

05/07/2009 - Belgrade, Serbia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-seeded Croat Ivo Karlovic and fourth-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi were a pair of second-round winners Thursday at the inaugural clay-court Serbia Open.

The 6-foot-10 Karlovic got past Argentine Brian Dabul 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), while Seppi subdued Argentina's Leonardo Mayer 6-4, 6-1 at this French Open tune-up.

A pair of upsets occurred on Day 4 here, as Brazilian Marcos Daniel took out sixth-seeded Croat Ivan Ljubicic 6-4, 6-3 and Italian qualifier Flavio Cipolla ousted seventh-seeded Frenchman Arnaud Clement 1-6, 6-4, 6-2.

Friday's quarterfinals will pit top-seeded Serbian hero Novak Djokovic against fifth-seeded compatriot Viktor Troicki, Karlovic versus Cipolla, Seppi against Daniel and Belgian Kristof Vliegen versus Poland's Lukasz Kubot. The world No. 3 Djokovic was last week's Italian Masters runner-up to clay-court superman Rafael Nadal.

This week's titlist will pocket $100,000.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
