Tennis Betting Lines

06/07/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - French seeds Julien Benneteau and Richard Gasquet were among Monday's opening-round winners at the Aegon Championships, a grass-court Wimbledon tune-up.

The ninth-seeded Benneteau handled fellow Frenchman Arnaud Clement 6-2, 6-4, while an 11th-seeded Gasquet, a former French Open semifinalist, dismissed Japan's Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-3 at The Queen's Club. Gasquet is a two-time Queen's Club quarterfinalist.

Twelfth-seeded Frenchman Michael Llodra also moved on, with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan.

In other results involving seeds, No. 14 Israeli Dudi Sela overcame big- serving Aussie Chris Guccione 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 and No. 16 Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan erased Britain's Jamie Baker 6-1, 6-4.

Several other men advanced to the second round, including Americans Robby Ginepri and Jesse Levine and German Rainer Schuettler. Ginepri grounded Brit James Ward 6-3, 7-5, while Levine leveled fellow American Ryan Harrison 6-3, 6-3, and the former Aussie Open runner-up Schuettler shut down Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver 6-1, 6-2.

Also, American Taylor Dent succumbed to South African Kevin Anderson 6-7 (7-9), 6-3, 7-5.

Three matches were suspended because of rain on Monday, including ones for 13th-seeded Colombian Santiago Giraldo and unseeded American Mardy Fish.

British star Andy Murray, seeded third this week, beat American James Blake in last year's finale here. Murray's first opponent this week will be Spaniard Ivan Navarro.

This week's top seeds are French Open champion and new world No. 1 Rafael Nadal and Serbian star Novak Djokovic. Nadal was the Queen's Club champ in 2008.

The red-hot Nadal will open his stay here against Brazil's Marcos Daniel, a Day-1 victor. Nadal has won his last 22 matches, all on red clay, with titles coming in Monte Carlo, Rome, Madrid and Paris, where he just secured his fifth French Open title in six years.

Four-time champion Andy Roddick, seeded fourth, is also in the deep field this week.
