Wimbledon, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former world No. 1s Jelena Jankovic
and Kim Clijsters were among Monday's first-round winners at The
Championships, Wimbledon.
The fourth-seeded former U.S. Open runner-up Jankovic was tested in a 6-3,
7-6 (7-3) victory over promising British teenager Laura Robson, a lefthander
with top-20 potential.
Jankovic will face Canadian Aleksandra Wozniak in the round of 64.
The eighth-seeded Clijsters, meanwhile, needed just 65 minutes in a 6-0,
6-3 rout of Italy's Maria Elena Camerin.
Clijsters is making her first appearance at the All England Club since 2006.
The Belgian star came out of retirement last summer and won the U.S. Open, but
she has never fared well in the London suburb, with a pair of semifinal
finishes her best results.
Up next for Clijsters will be Croat Karolina Sprem, who stunned Venus Williams
in the second round here six years ago.
Eleventh-seeded Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli moved on by polishing off
Germany's Julia Goerges in 6-4, 6-3 fashion on Day 1. Bartoli was the
Wimbledon runner-up in 2007, but has been eliminated in the third round here
each year since.
Other winners Monday included Russians Nadia Petrova and Vera Zvonareva.
The 12th-seeded Petrova topped Germany's Tatjana Malek 6-4, 6-3, while the
21st-seeded Zvonareva earned a 6-4, 6-1 triumph over Spain's Nuria Llagostera
Vives.
Some other seeded winners were No. 26 Russian Alisa Kleybanova, No. 27 Russian
Maria Kirilenko and No. 30 Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan. Shvedova was a
surprise French Open quarterfinalist three weeks ago.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
