Tennis Betting Lines
06/25/2010 -
Wimbledon, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Belgium's Kim Clijsters met little
resistance in her third-round match against Maria Kirilenko at Wimbledon and
posted a straight-set victory on Friday at the All England Club.
The eighth-seeded Clijsters rolled to a 6-3, 6-3 triumph over the 27th-seeded
Russian and could next meet fellow Belgian Justine Henin in the fourth round.
Henin is currently in action against Russia's Nadia Petrova.
Clijsters has dropped just 14 games in her first three matches of this
fortnight. She is playing at Wimbledon for the first time since a semifinal
appearance in 2006, as her comeback from a two-year layoff to start a family
began last summer and resulted in a surprising U.S. Open title.
Others scheduled for play on Friday are five-time champion Venus Williams and
fourth-seeded Jelena Jankovic. The second-seeded Williams will take on Russian
Alisa Kleybanova and Jankovic will meet Alona Bondarenko of the Ukraine.

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

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.
