Rezai edges Dulko for Bastad title

Tennis Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Bastad, Sweden (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-seeded Aravane Rezai outlasted fourth-seeded Gisela Dulko in three sets Saturday to win the title at the $220,000 Swedish Open.

Rezai was a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 winner in a match that lasted more than two hours as both players struggled with their service games. Rezai converted eight of 15 break chances while Dulko converted 6-of-7, and neither had a first serve percentage above 56. The pair also combined for 16 double faults.

However, Rezai pulled out the victory to take her fourth career title and second of the season. The 23-year-old Frenchwoman titled in Madrid earlier this season.

Dulko, meanwhile, was aiming for her fourth career championship. The Argentine had dismissed top-seeded Flavia Pennetta in the semifinals in straight sets, fending off eight break points, but was not able to repeat that performance Saturday.

Rezai got her first victory against Dulko in their third matchup, and collected $37,000 for the win.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
