Tennis Betting Lines

03/15/2010 - Indian Wells, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - World No. 2 Novak Djokovic barely survived his third-round match Monday at the $4.5 million BNP Paribas Open, an ATP World Tour Masters event, while world No. 3 Rafael Nadal cruised in two sets against Croatia's Mario Ancic.

The second-seeded Djokovic outlasted 25th-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (7-3) on the hardcourts at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The 2008 Indian Wells titlist Djokovic staved off three match points while trailing 4-5 in the third set here on Day 5.

Djokovic prevailed in 2 hours, 35 minutes with a match-ending inside-out forehand winner. Up next for Djokovic will be 20th-seeded Croat Ivan Ljubicic.

The third seed Nadal dominated Ancic 6-2, 6-2 to also move to the fourth round. The Spaniard won 96 percent of his first serve points, 86 percent of total service points and is 4-1 all-time against Ancic.

The former top-ranked Nadal defeated Australian Open runner-up Andy Murray in last year's finale here. Nadal also captured the Indian Wells title in 2007. The six-time major champion Nadal is seeking his first title of any kind since May of last year.

Nadal got by his opponent in 1 hour, five minutes, recorded five aces and will meet either 15th-seeded John Isner or 17th-seeded Sam Querrey.

Czech Tomas Berdych, the 19th seed, maneuvered through No. 10 Fernando Verdasco of Spain in straight sets, 6-0, 6-3. Berdych will face 29th-seeded Victor Troicki in the next round.

Tough Argentine Juan Monaco, seeded 21st here, upset 11th-seeded former world No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain, 7-6 (7-2), 3-6, 6-3.

Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic, the 20th seed, took down unseeded Argentine Brian Dabul, 6-2, 6-3. Ljubicic will next take on Djokovic. The contest lasted 1 hour 20 minutes with Ljubicic racking up 17 aces.

Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez upset No. 26 seed Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1. Garcia-Lopez will face Monaco.

The men's third round will conclude here on Tuesday, including matches for world No. 1 superstar Roger Federer, a fourth-seeded Murray and seventh- seeded Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick. The 16-time major titlist Federer will tangle with 27th-seeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis.

This week's winner will collect $605,500.
