Tennis Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rain throughout the day and into the evening forced the postponement of the semifinals of the $2 million Rogers Cup to Sunday.

Second-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark was ahead 2-0 in her match against 11th-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova. The players returned to the court after 9 p.m. and warmed up, but then rain started again.

The two then played on either side of the net with a mini soccer ball to entertain the crowd before walking off the court together with smiles on their faces and signing autographs.

The match between Wozniacki and Kuznetsova will resume at 11 a.m. Sunday in Centre Court. The other semifinal between eighth-seeded Russian Vera Zvonareva, this year's Wimbledon runner-up, and 10th seed Victoria Azarenka of Belarus will commence at the same time on National Bank Court. The final is slated for 3 p.m.

This week's winner will earn $350,000.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
