Hantuchova advances, Zvonareva retires in Pattaya City

Tennis Betting Lines

02/10/2012 - Pattaya City, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending champion Daniela Hantuchova was among the quarterfinal winners Friday at the Pattaya Open, while two-time winner Vera Zvonareva was forced to retire from her match because of a hip injury.

Hantuchova, this year's third seed, battled past Vania King, 7-6 (9-7), 6-4, giving the Slovakian a 7-0 career mark against the American. The two also met earlier this year in the second round of the Australian Open tuneup in Brisbane.

Next up for Hantuchova, who lost to Kaia Kanepi in the Brisbane final, will be Taiwanese qualifier Su-Wei Hsieh, a 7-5, 6-3 winner over India's Sania Mirza.

Mirza was the 2009 Pattaya runner-up, losing to Zvonareva in the final. The top-seeded Russian also won this title in 2010. Friday's quarterfinal against Romanian Sorana Cirstea was all even when Zvonareva called it quits.

Cirstea, who reached the quarterfinals earlier this season in Hobart, took the first set on Friday, 6-2, before Zvonareva captured the second, 6-4. It was 2-2 in the third when the two-time Grand Slam runner-up decided she could not continue.

The seventh-seeded Cirstea will next play another Russian in the semifinals, as fourth-seeded Maria Kirilenko earned a spot in the final four with a 7-6 (7-2), 6-1 victory over Thai crowd favorite Tamarine Tanasugarn. Tanasugarn has been a runner-up at this event twice, first back in 1996 and again last year.

Kirilenko, a third-round loser to Petra Kvitova at the Australian Open, hasn't won a WTA crown since 2008.

The 2012 champion will collect $37,000.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
