07/14/2010 - Palermo, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending champion and top seed Flavia Pennetta of Italy was an easy second-round winner Wednesday at the $220,000 Palermo International tennis tournament.
Pennetta handled Czech Renata Voracova 6-0, 6-3 in only 55 minutes on the red clay at Country Time Club. The world No. 12 Pennetta beat Sara Errani in last year's all-Italian final here and was the Palermo runner-up back in 2004.
The 28-year-old Pennetta's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be Spanish qualifier Nuria Llagostera Vives, who took out ninth-seeded Italian Alberta Brianti 7-6 (8-6), 6-2 on Day 3.
Veteran American Jill Craybas fought back to stun Wimbledon semifinalist Tsvetana Pironkova 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Wednesday. The diminutive 36-year-old Craybas is only 5-foot-3 but is one of the fittest players on the WTA Tour.
The Bulgarian Pironkova, seeded fourth this week, appeared in her first-ever Grand Slam semifinal two weeks ago at the storied All England Club.
Meanwhile, eighth-seeded German Julia Goerges grounded Italian qualifier Corinna Dentoni 6-4, 6-3 to setup a quarterfinal affair with the age-defying Craybas.
On Thursday, second-seeded Aravane Rezai and a third-seeded Errani will play their second-rounders. The French Rezai is fresh off her clay-court championship in Bastad. Errani is seeking her third straight trip into the Palermo final, having titled here in 2008 and lost to Pennetta in last year's championship tilt.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
