06/19/2007 - 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo and third-seeded Argentine Guillermo Canas were among Tuesday's first-round winners at the grass-court Ordina Open, a final Wimbledon tune-up.

Robredo held off Dutch qualifier Michel Koning 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), while Canas snuck past Latvian Ernests Gulbis 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 at Autotron Rosmalen. Canas, making his first grass-court appearance in two years, was a finalist here back in 2001.

A series of upsets occurred on Day 3, as Argentine Carlos Berlocq took out fifth-seeded former world No. 1 Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero 2-6, 6-3, 6-2; Frenchman Julien Benneteau bounced sixth-seeded Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela 6-4, 6-4; Argentine Sergio Roitman knocked out seventh-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-2, retired; and Serbian Janko Tipsarevic vaulted past eighth- seeded Frenchman Marc Gicquel 6-4, 6-2. Kohlschreiber gave way to a shoulder injury against Roitman.

Other winners were Swiss lucky-loser Yves Allegro, German qualifier Michael Berrer and Czech lucky-loser Lukas Dlouhy.

The second round will be staged here on Wednesday, including matches for Robredo, second-seeded Croat Ivan Ljubicic and Canas. Robredo will encounter Belgian Kristof Vliegen, while Ljubicic will meet Italian Andreas Seppi and Canas will take on Berrer.

Wimbledon 2007 will commence Monday at the All England Club.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
