Tennis Betting Lines

06/18/2007 - Nottingham, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two-time defending champion Richard Gasquet was among Monday's first-round winners at The Nottingham Open, a final grass-court Wimbledon tune-up.

The top-seeded Gasquet improved to a perfect 11-0 at this event with a 6-3, 6-4 handling of American Vincent Spadea at The City of Nottingham Tennis Centre. The talented Frenchman beat Swede Jonas Bjorkman, the 1998 and 2002 titlist here, in last year's finale.

Gasquet celebrated his 21st birthday on Monday.

A mild upset came when capable Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean grounded fifth- seeded Slovakian Dominik Hrbaty 6-3, 6-4. Grosjean is a solid grass-court player, including a title at this event back in 2000.

Seventh-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka was supposed to meet 6-foot-10 Croat Ivo Karlovic on Monday, but their match was postponed because of rain.

In other opening-round play, Frenchman Gilles Simon got past Romanian Andrei Pavel 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 and Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez was leading British wild card Alex Bogdanovic 6-4, 0-1 when their match was suspended due to inclement weather.
