Fish, Safin advance in Los Angeles
Tennis Betting Lines
08/07/2008 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fifth-seeded Russian Marat Safin and
sixth-seeded American Mardy Fish advanced, while second-seeded Spaniard
Fernando Verdasco fell in Wednesday's second-round action at the $475,000
Countrywide Classic tennis event.
Frenchman Florent Serra upset Verdasco in 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) fashion on the
hardcourts at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.
Fish looked like he might have been heading for the same upset fate after
dropping the first set of his match in a tiebreak. But he dropped just one
game over the final two sets to earn a 6-7 (5-7), 6-1, 6-0 victory over fellow
countryman Vincent Spadea.
Safin, however, had little trouble in dispatching American Wayne Odesnik 6-3,
6-2.
But another Day-3 upset did come when German Denis Gremelmayr upended fourth-
seeded Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 7-5, 7-5 in just under two hours.
This week's top seed is American star Andy Roddick, who will open his stay
here against Serbian lucky-loser Dusan Vemic in the second round on Thursday.
The 2008 Countrywide winner will collect $79,000.
