Tennis Betting Lines

07/06/2010 - Newport, RI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fifth-seeded American Mardy Fish and Wimbledon marathon man Nicolas Mahut were a pair of opening-round winners Tuesday at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.

Fish swam past journeyman fellow American Michael Russell 6-1, 6-2, while the wild card Mahut knocked out third-seeded Colombian Alejandro Falla 6-3, 1-6, 6-3.

The French Mahut was playing his first tennis since losing to 6-foot-9 American John Isner in their epic 11-hour, 5-minute first-round spectacle at the All England Club two weeks ago.

On Tuesday, Mahut dismissed Falla in a mere 1 hour, 23 minutes. Falla was playing his first ATP match since pushing the great Roger Federer to five sets in an opening-round affair at Wimbledon.

Additional Day-2 wins in Newport came for Indian Somdev Devvarman, American wild card Denis Kudla and Argentine Brian Dabul. Kudla took out Spaniard Santiago Ventura, while Devvarman erased American Kevin Kim 6-4, 6-3 on the grass courts at the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

The winner of this $500,000 event will collect $75,700.
