Davydenko downs Nadal in World Finals

Tennis Betting Lines

11/25/2009 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nikolay Davydenko had little trouble with Rafael Nadal at the ATP World Finals, defeating the Spaniard in straight sets in round-robin play at the season-ending tournament on Wednesday.

Davydenko, who claimed his first win of the event, with a 6-1, 7-6 (7-4) decision, is still in contention to reach the semifinals, while Nadal dropped his second straight match and can no longer advance.

Earlier in the day, Robin Soderling made the most of his opportunity, as the Swede followed up a victory over Nadal with a triumph over Novak Djokovic.

Soderling, who gained entry into the exclusive eight-man field when American Andy Roddick withdrew because of injury, is 2-0 in Group B play. He posted a 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 win on Wednesday after toppling Nadal in straight sets to open round-robin play Monday.

It's been a breakthrough year for Soderling, who gained notoriety back in the spring when he knocked off Nadal in the fourth round of the French Open to deny the super Spaniard a chance at his fifth straight crown at Roland Garros. Soderling went on to the final at the clay court Grand Slam and lost to Roger Federer, who also beat the Swede in the quarterfinals at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

Djokovic, the tournament's defending champion, fell to 1-1 in Group B. He beat Davydenko in his first match this week, but Wednesday's setback ended an 11- match winning streak. The Serb has won his past two tournaments, taking the Paris Masters two weeks ago after beating the great Federer on his home court in the final at the Swiss Indoors.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
