Jankovic reaches Madrid quarters

Tennis Betting Lines

05/13/2010 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic highlighted Thursday's third-round winners at the $4.5 million Madrid Open, a clay-court French Open tune-up.

The seventh-seeded Jankovic drilled Spain's own Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-2, 6-0 on Day 6 at the Magic Box. The Serbian star advanced in 68 minutes, with the help of six service breaks in seven tries.

The surging former U.S. Open finalist Jankovic was last week's runner-up on the red clay in Rome.

Jankovic's quarterfinal opponent here on Friday will be France's Aravane Rezai.

In other Thursday action involving seeds, No. 8 Aussie Samantha Stosur stopped Swiss veteran Patty Schnyder 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 and No. 13 Chinese Li Na handled Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko 6-3, 6-3. The ever-improving Stosur has quietly won 21 of her last 24 matches on the tour.

Two other third-rounders saw Rezai hold off German Andrea Petkovic 6-4, 7-6 (10-8) and Israeli Shahar Peer paste Spaniard Arantxa Parra Santonja 7-5, 6-2. The wild card Parra Santonja reached her first-ever WTA Tour final last week, but lost in Estoril.

Friday's other quarters will pit fourth-seeded former top-ranked star Venus Williams against Stosur, Li versus Peer and 16th-seeded Russian Nadia Petrova against Czech Lucie Safarova. Petrova upset world No. 1 Serena Williams here on Wednesday.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
