Tennis Betting Lines

04/10/2009 - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Russian Nadia Petrova barely won her quarterfinal match Friday at the inaugural MPS Group Championships.

The world No. 10 Petrova had to come from behind to best seventh-seeded Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) at Sawgrass Country Club. Petrova swatted seven aces, but also piled up 11 double faults in the sloppy 2-hour, 36-minute affair, which featured six services breaks by each combatant.

Petrova's semifinal opponent on Saturday will be Canada's top player, fifth- seeded Aleksandra Wozniak, who snuck into the final four with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (9-7) victory over Austrian Tamira Paszek on Day 5.

Second-seeded Caroline Wozniacki had an easier time in the nightcap, breezing past Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. Her semifinal counterpart is unranked Russian Elena Vesnina, who posted a 7-5, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3 victory against three-seed Dominika Cibulkova.

The winner of this $220,000 tournament will pocket $37,000.
