07/26/2010 -
Istanbul, Turkey (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - French Open champion Francesca Schiavone
will have to wait until Tuesday to complete her opening-round match at the
$220,000 Istanbul Cup tennis event.
The top-seeded Schiavone was leading Brit Anne Keothavong 4-0 in the first set
on Monday when their match was suspended because of rain and darkness on the
hardcourts here.
Schiavone became the first-ever Italian woman to both reach and win a Grand
Slam final at last month's French Open.

Germany leveled Turkish wild card Pemra Ozgen 6-2, 6-1 and Swiss Stefanie

One other Day-1 result saw reigning Istanbul champion Vera Dushevina overcome
Croat Petra Martic 2-6, 7-5, 6-3. The Russian Dushevina doused Czech Lucie
Hradecka in last year's finale here.

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.
