Tennis Betting Lines

08/24/2010 - New Haven, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-seeded Australian Samantha Stosur advanced to the quarterfinals with a three-set victory over Sara Errani at the $600,000 Pilot Pen Tennis event, a final hardcourt U.S. Open tune-up on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old Stosur, June's French Open runner-up, defeated the 23-year-old Italian, 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (7-4) in the second-round matchup and has advanced to the quarterfinals or better in nine of the last 10 tournaments.

Earlier on Tuesday, former Wimbledon runner-up Marion Bartoli advanced to the second round, while 2009 U.S. Open semifinalist Yanina Wickmayer went by way of the opening-round upset.

The sixth-seeded Bartoli, of France, barely snuck past Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-2), 6-3, while the fifth-seeded Wickmayer, of Belgium, succumbed to Swiss Timea Bacsinszky 6-3, 6-1 at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale. Bartoli needed 2 hours, 39 minutes to stave off a game Bondarenko.

Bartoli's second-round opponent will be Aussie Anastasia Rodionova.

Seventh-seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta reached the second round with a 6-4, 6-4 decision against Russian Alisa Kleybanova.

Additional opening-round wins came for the aforementioned Rodionova, Belarusian Olga Govortsova and Russian Maria Kirilenko, who bested last year's New Haven runner-up and fellow Russian Elena Vesnina 6-1, 3-6, 6-1. Vesnina, a qualifier this week, lost to U.S. Open runner-up Caroline Wozniacki in last year's Pilot Pen finale.

Wozniacki, this week's top seed, is the two-time reigning New Haven champ and fresh off her title in Montreal on Monday.

The 2010 Pilot Pen champion will collect $98,500.
