03/06/2010 - Belgrade, Serbia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A doubles team of Bob Bryan and John Isner got the United States a much-needed point on Saturday, as the last-minute pairing bested a Serbian duo of Janko Tipsarevic and Nenad Zimonjic in their best-of-five first-round Davis Cup tie. The Serbs' lead was cut to 2-1.
Bryan played without his twin brother Mike on Day 2, as the towering Isner, making his Davis Cup doubles debut, was a late substitute and got his first- ever Davis Cup win in a surprising 7-6 (10-8), 5-7, 7-6 (10-8), 6-3 decision against Tipsarevic and Zimonjic, the top-ranked doubles player in the world, on the red clay at Belgrade Arena. The U.S. prevailed in 3 hours, 6 minutes.
This marked Bob Bryan's first-ever Davis Cup doubles rubber without his brother Mike at his side.
The winner here will be decided in Sunday's reverse singles, as world No. 2 Serbian star Novak Djokovic meets Isner and American Sam Querrey faces Viktor Troicki. Both the 6-foot-9 Isner, who made his Davis Cup debut on Friday, and 6-foot-6 Querrey were singles losers on Day 1 to Troicki and Djokovic, respectively.
Team USA is captained by Patrick McEnroe, while the Serbs are being guided by Bogdan Obradovic. McEnroe led the U.S. to a record 32nd Davis Cup title in 2007, which ended a 12-year American title drought.
The Americans are playing without their top gun this week, Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick, who decided against playing in the prestigious international team event this year.
The U.S. and Serbia are meeting for the first time in Davis Cup play and the winner will face Croatia in the quarterfinals in July.

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.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
