Tennis Betting Lines

07/29/2007 - Bad Gastein, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Italian Francesca Schiavone blitzed Austrian crowd favorite Yvonne Meusburger in straight sets to win the inaugural $175,000 Gastein Ladies tennis event.

Schiavone, who ousted fourth-seeded Estonian Kaia Kanepi in the semis, dominated the first set and then held off the unseeded Meusburger, who was playing in her first WTA Tour singles final, to win 6-1, 6-4.

This was the second time the Italian star got the best of Meusburger this year. Schiavone also dispatched Meusburger in straight sets in the first round of the French Open.

It was the ninth career final for Schiavone, but her first win.

The Italian pocketed $25,840 for her efforts.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
