04/13/2010 - Monte Carlo, Monaco (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rising Croat Marin Cilic and fifth-seeded Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga were among Tuesday's second-round winner at the $2.97 million Monte Carlo Masters.
The fourth-seeded Cilic, a semifinalist at the Australian Open back in January, came from behind to beat Russian Igor Andreev 6-7 (4-7), 6-1, 6-4, while the former Aussie Open runner-up Tsonga handled Spaniard Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 on the red clay at the prestigious Monte Carlo Country Club.
Cilic, who played his first clay-court match in 10 months on Tuesday, and Tsonga were joined in the third round by sixth-seeded Spaniard Fernando Verdasco and 10th-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych. Verdasco drilled France's Julien Benneteau 6-2, 6-1, while Berdych, who reached the Masters finale in Miami two weeks ago, blitzed French wild card Richard Gasquet 6-2, 6-0.
Several seeds saw first-round action on Day 2, as No. 12 Spaniard Tommy Robredo routed Argentine Horacio Zeballos 6-3, 6-3; hot No. 13 Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka topped Romanian Victor Hanescu in a rematch of last week's Casablanca finale 6-2, 6-4; No. 15 Austrian Jurgen Melzer mauled France's Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-3, 6-2; and Spain's Albert Montanes ousted No. 16 Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis 6-4, 6-2.
Additional first-round wins came for Frenchmen Michael Llodra and Florent Serra, Dutch qualifier Thiemo De Bakker and Serbian Viktor Troicki.
The second round will conclude with 12 matches here on Wednesday, including ones for top seeds Novak Djokovic, five-time reigning Monte Carlo champion Rafael Nadal and Aussie Open runner-up Andy Murray. Djokovic will encounter Serra, while Nadal will meet De Bakker and Murray will take on dangerous German Philipp Kohlschreiber.
Nadal beat Djokovic in last year's marquee final here to improve to 29-1 at this French Open tune-up.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
