Tennis Betting Lines

07/22/2010 - Hamburg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Nikolay Davydenko was the latest to fall in an upset-minded German Open Tennis Championships, as third- round play concluded Thursday.

Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev dethroned the defending champ 6-4, 6-4 in a little under an hour and 30 minutes. Golubev won 73 percent of his first serves, while the Russian made good on only 27 percent of his first returns.

Davydenko was just the latest seed to fall joining fifth-seeded Nicolas Almagro, eighth-seeded Albert Montanes, ninth-seeded Gilles Simon, 11th- seeded Tommy Robredo, 12th-seeded Victor Hanescu, 13th-seeded Philipp Petzschner, 15th-seeded Alexandr Dolgopolov and 16th-seeded Michael Berrer.

The whole of the group were ousted by unseeded players in the second round, while Davydenko and 10th-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber were the lone seeded loser Thursday.

Seventh-seeded Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci defeated Germany's Kohlschreiber, 7-5, 6-4.

Austrian third seed Jurgen Melzer advanced to the quarterfinals with a hard- fought 7-5, 7-6 (7-4) win against Frenchman Jeremy Chardy, while Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero outlasted Finn Jarkko Nieminen in a 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 final as the sixth seed.

Also advancing to the quarterfinals Thursday were German Florian Mayer, who polished off Maximo Gonzalez of Argentina 7-6 (7-1), 6-0; Uzbek Denis Istomin, a 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3) winner over German Julian Reister; Italian Andreas Seppi, who straight-setted countryman Fabio Fognini 6-4, 6-4; and fellow Italian Potito Starace, who advanced by way of a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Pere Riba of Spain.

Golubev faces off with Istomin in the quarters, Melzer will match wits with Starace, Ferrero takes on Mayer, and Bellucci and Seppi begin play Friday.
