Tennis Betting Lines

06/19/2007 - 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - French Open runner- up Ana Ivanovic of Serbia and 2006 's-Hertogenbosch finalist Dinara Safina of Russia were among Tuesday's winners at the $175,000 Ordina Open, a final grass-court Wimbledon tune-up.

The second-seeded Ivanovic got past Greek Eleni Daniilidou 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 in second-round action at Autotron Rosmalen, while a fourth-seeded Safina held off French qualifier Camille Pin 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 in opening-round play. Safina was last year's runner-up here to heavy Dutch crowd favorite Michaella Krajicek, and the two women will square off in a rematch on Wednesday.

Third-seeded Russian Anna Chakvetadze reached the quarterfinals by besting Italian Francesca Schiavone 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), while fifth-seeded Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova moved into the second round by dousing Russian Olga Poutchkova 6-2, 6-1. Hantuchova's second-round opponent will be hot American Meghann Shaughnessy, who's fresh off her clay-court title in Barcelona and is currently riding a six-match winning streak.

Also moving into the quarterfinals were eighth-seeded Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko and Italian Flavia Pennetta, as Bondarenko edged out Italian Roberta Vinci 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, while Pennetta handled German qualifier Tatjana Malek 6-0, 6-4.

Other first-round winners on Day 3 were American Meilen Tu and German Angelique Kerber. Tu is rewarded with a second-round match against top-seeded Serbian Jelena Jankovic, who is fresh off her grass-court title in Birmingham last week and soared into the French Open semis two weeks ago.
