Tennis Betting Lines
04/22/2009 -
Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top seeds Rafael Nadal and Fernando
Verdasco of Spain highlighted Wednesday's second-round winners at the $2.6
million Barcelona Open.
The high-flying world No. 1 Nadal continued his winning ways with a 6-2, 6-2
spanking of Portuguese qualifier Frederico Gil on the red clay at Real Club
de Tenis Barcelona. Nadal has won this event four years running and defeated
David Ferrer in last year's popular all-Spansih finale here.
Nadal also beat Gil in Miami last month.
"In Miami I played pretty badly against him," said Nadal. "Today I played a
more serious match, without making any big changes."
The reigning Australian Open, Wimbledon, French Open and Olympic titlist Nadal
is fresh off his fifth straight Monte-Carlo championship, having beaten
Serbian star Novak Djokovic in last week's title tilt in Monaco.
Since 2005, Nadal has won139-of-143 matches on clay, including 22 straight
now. He's 22-1 all-time here in Barcelona.
Nadal, who enjoyed an opening-round bye along with his fellow top-eight seeds
this week, will face Belgian Christophe Rochus in some third-round action here
on Thursday.
The second-seeded Verdasco moved on with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Ecuador's
Nicolas Lapentti, a qualifier this week. Nadal's fellow lefty Verdasco will
face 15th-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych on Thursday.
Meanwhile, third-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko handled Frenchman Arnaud
Clement 7-6 (7-2), 6-2; fifth-seeded Chilean Fernando Gonzalez grounded
Argentine Jose Acasuso 6-4, 6-4; sixth-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo doused
Argentine and fellow former Barcelona champ Gaston Gaudio 7-6 (8-6), 6-1;
and seventh-seeded Argentine David Nalbandian dismissed Russian Igor Kunitysn
7-5, 6-4. Robredo titled here in 2004, while the wild card Gaudio captured this
event back in 2002 and was the French Open champ in '04. Gaudio picked up his
first ATP-level win in two years here on Tuesday.
Five other seeds reached the round of 16, as No. 8 Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka
bested Russian Mikhail Youzhny 7-5, 6-1; No. 9 Czech Radek Stepanek stopped
Serb Janko Tipsarevic 7-6 (7-2), 6-0; No. 10 Spaniard Nicolas Almagro overcame
Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3; the aforementioned Berdych
outlasted Spanish favorite Oscar Hernandez 6-2, 4-6, 6-3;and No. 16 Spaniard
Feliciano Lopez edged out qualifier and fellow Spaniard Santiago Ventura 2-6,
6-4, 6-3. Almagro led the ATP with 30 clay-court wins last year.
In some other second-round play, Rochus upended 13th-seeded Frenchman Richard
Gasquet 6-1, 6-7 (2-7), 6-3; Italian Potito Starace toppled 14th-seeded Swede
Robin Soderling 7-6 (7-5), 2-6, 6-2; and gritty Argentine Juan Monaco erased
Spanish qualifier Daniel Gimeno-Traver 7-5, 6-4.
In some other third-round action on Thursday, Davydenko will play Lopez and a
fourth-seeded Ferrer will take on Starace. Additional third-rounders will pit
Gonzalez against Monaco, Robredo versus 12th-seeded Russian Igor Andreev,
Nalbandian against Almagro and Wawrinka versus Stepanek.
This week's champion will pocket $370,000.
