Serena leads U.S. past Belarus
Tennis Betting Lines
02/05/2012 -
Worcester, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Serena Williams recorded a Sunday singles
victory to move the United States into the Fed Cup World Group Playoffs.
The 2011 U.S. Open runner-up Williams improved to 2-0 this week by overcoming
Anastasia Yakimova 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 at DCU Center in Worcester. The victory gave
the host Americans an insurmountable 3-0 lead in their best-of-five World
Group II battle against Belarus, which was forced to play without world No. 1
star and Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, who is nursing a back
injury after beating Maria Sharapova in last week's Aussie Open finale.
The former No. 1 and 13-time Grand Slam champion Williams and Christina McHale
were a pair of singles winners here on Saturday, as McHale beat Yakimova and
Williams topped Olga Govortsova in straight sets.
This is the first-ever Fed Cup meeting between the 17-time champion U.S. and
Belarus.
Team USA advanced to the World Group playoffs where it will meet a World
Group first-round loser and needs to win in order to have a chance to compete
for the Fed Cup title next year.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
