Bacsinszky beats Meusburger in rainy Austria
Tennis Betting Lines
07/24/2010 -
Bad Gastein, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland beat
Austrian crowd favorite Yvonne Meusburger in the semifinals of the Gastein
Ladies tennis tournament on Saturday.
The second-seeded Bacsinszky rallied for a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory to advance to
Sunday's final, but she'll have to wait a day for her opponent as rain washed
out the second scheduled semifinal between France's Alize Cornet and Julia
Goerges of Germany.
Cornet and Goerges will play their semifinal on Sunday morning prior to the
title match.
Bacsinszky is in position to claim her second career WTA title and first since
last year in Luxembourg.
Meusburger still has never won a WTA singles crown and reached her only title
match at this event in 2007.
Bacsinszky appeared to be in major trouble from the outset on Saturday, as she
dropped each of her four service games in the opening set. She regrouped in
the second and won the set after saving a pair of break points while serving
at 5-4.
Rain started to fall in the third and Bacsinszky briefly left the court after
complaining to the chair umpire about the conditions. She returned soon after
and held serve for a 5-3 lead before breaking Meusburger in the following game
to win the match.
Bacsinszky improved to 3-1 lifetime against Meusburger, although the Austrian
had won this year's lone previous matchup in the first round of the Australian
Open.
Cornet and Goerges may each have needed an extra day of rest after both went
three sets to win their respective quarterfinal matches on Friday.
The 20-year-old Cornet has just one WTA Tour title, taking the Budapest crown
in 2008. She will appear in her second semifinal of 2010, having lost to Iveta
Benesova in Morocco this spring.
Goerges, trying for her first WTA crown, also reached the semifinals last week
in Palermo. She has never played Cornet.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
