Djokovic, Isner ease into Belgrade quarters

Tennis Betting Lines

05/06/2010 - Belgrade, Serbia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Belgrade native Novak Djokovic and 6- foot-9 American John Isner were among Thursday's second-round winners at the Serbian Open, a clay-court French Open tune-up.

The top-seeded Serbian hero Djokovic handled Italian Fabio Fognini 6-4, 6-4 in an hour-and-a-half at MGM Belgrade. The sloppy match featured 10 service breaks, including six for the predictable winner.

The world No. 2 Djokovic is the reigning champion here, having beaten Poland's Lukasz Kubot in last year's inaugural Serbian Open finale.

Djokovic's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be wild card and fellow Serb Filip Krajinovic, a 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 (7-5) victor against Argentine Horacio Zeballos.

A second-seeded Isner, meanwhile, blew past Frenchman Josselin Ouanna 6-2, 6-4 on Day 4. The massive-serving American drilled 16 aces and held his powerful serve throughout the match.

The ever-improving Isner's quarterfinal opponent will be another Frenchman, former top-10 star Richard Gasquet, who upended eighth-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi 4-6, 6-2, 7-5.

Friday's other quarters will pit third-seeded American Sam Querrey against tough Russian Igor Andreev and fourth-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka versus sixth-seeded Serb Viktor Troicki.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
