Tennis Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Newport, RI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Doubles greats Todd Woodbridge, Mark Woodforde, Gigi Fernandez and Natasha Zvereva headlined this year's class enshrined at the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday.

The Australians Woodbridge and Woodforde, nicknamed "The Woodies," piled up a record 61 doubles titles on the ATP, including a whopping 11 major championships, which is second only to fellow Aussies John Newcombe and Tony Roche's record of 12. Woodbridge and Woodforde also enjoyed stays inside the Top-20 in singles.

The Woodies were the first tandem to corral five straight Wimbledon titles and are the only team in the Open Era to win at least one major title in six straight years.

In Olympic competition, the Woodies captured gold in 1996 and silver in 2000.

The 39-year-old Woodbridge holds the ATP record with 83 doubles titles in the Open Era and played on Davis Cup championship teams for Australia in 1999 and 2003.

The 44-year-old Woodforde captured 67 doubles titles and held down the No. 1 ranking for doubles for 84 weeks during his career. He played for a Davis Cup winner in 1999, along with Woodbridge.

The 46-year-old Puerto Rican native Fernandez and Belarusian Zvereva amassed 38 doubles titles together, including 14 Grand Slam wins. From 1992-93, they tallied six straight major titles at one point.

Beatriz "Gigi" Fernandez, a mother of twins, colleted 68 doubles titles on tour, including 17 majors, while the 39-year-old Zvereva piled up 18 major doubles championships. Fernandez captured Olympic doubles gold medals in 1992 and 1996 and was a two-time Fed Cup champion for the United States (1990, 1996).

Zvereva won 20 Grand Slam doubles titles overall, including a pair of mixed ones, and also reached the Top-10 as a singles star, including a career-high No. 5 spot in 1989.

Others inducted to the Tennis Hall on Saturday were men's and mixed doubles specialist Owen Davidson, of Australia, in the Master Player category; wheelchair tennis pioneer Brad Parks, of the United States, in the Contributor category; and the late Derek Hardwick, who entered via the Contributor category as the former chairman of the British Lawn Tennis Association.

The class of 2010 now gives the Tennis Hall of Fame 218 legends, representing 19 nations.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).

Be sure to log onto online sports betting site MySportsbook.com to check out the odds for who will lead the MLB in home runs this season. Below is just a sample of the players listed. With the highest credit card rates in the industry, MySportsbook.com is the place to bet on baseball this summer.
