Tennis Betting Lines

07/14/2010 - Bastad, Sweden (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded and defending champion Robin Soderling of the host nation and former champ David Ferrer posted second-round victories Wednesday at the Swedish Open.

The reigning two-time French Open runner-up Soderling snuck past two-time Bastad runner-up and fellow Swede Andreas Vinciguerra 6-2, 6-7 (6-8), 6-2 in 1 hour, 52 minutes on the red clay at Bastad Tennis Stadium. Soderling swatted 15 aces and never faced a break point on Day 3.

The 29-year-old Vinciguerra, a wild card this week, reached back-to-back finals here in 1999 and 2000.

Soderling, who beat Argentine Juan Monaco in last year's Bastad finale, will face Italian Andreas Seppi in Friday's quarterfinals here.

The third-seeded Ferrer, meanwhile, dismissed Italian Fabio Fognini 6-3, 7-5. The Spanish Ferrer, who, like Soderling and his other fellow top-four seeds, enjoyed an opening-round bye this week, titled here in 2007. Ferrer leads the ATP with 30 clay-court match wins this season (30-6).

Ferrer's quarterfinal opponent will be Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas, who drilled Spaniard Pere Riba 6-4, 6-2 on Day 3.

One other second-rounder on Wednesday saw Seppi outlast fellow Italian Potito Starace 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (9-7).

On Thursday, second-seeded Spaniard Fernando Verdasco will meet France's Stephane Robert and fifth-seeded two-time Bastad titlist Tommy Robredo will encounter Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev in the second round. The Spanish Robredo titled here in 2006 and 2008.
