Argentina gains edge on Russia in Davis Cup quarterfinal

Tennis Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Moscow, Russia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eduardo Schwank and Horacio Zeballos won their doubles match Saturday to give Argentina the advantage against host Russia in their best-of-five Davis Cup quarterfinal.

The matchup was tied after Friday's opening singles rubbers, when David Nalbandian won for Argentina and Mikhail Youzhny triumphed for Russia.

On Saturday, Schwank and Zeballos prevailed in a 7-6 (9-7), 6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 6-1 decision over the Russian duo of Nikolay Davydenko and Igor Kunitsyn. The victory gives Argentina a 2-1 lead in the quarterfinal matchup and the edge heading into Sunday's reverse singles.

Leonardo Mayer, who lost to Youzhny in straight sets Friday, is currently scheduled to face Davydenko in Sunday's first match. He will have a chance to put Argentina, a three-time Davis Cup runner-up, into the semifinals.

Youzhny and Nalbandian are set to play in the day's second and potentially decisive rubber.

The winner here will face France or two-time defending champion Spain in September's semifinals.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
