06/15/2007 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three-time champion Andy Roddick was among Friday's quarterfinal winners, while French Open champ Rafael Nadal was shown the exit at the grass-court Artois Championships, a Wimbledon tune-up.
The top-seeded Nadal saw double duty on Day 5 and was not able to advance in his latter bout.
Earlier in the day, the 2006 Wimbledon runner-up Nadal completed a 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 victory over Belarusian Max Mirnyi. The Spaniard was leading 5-3 in the second set when that match was suspended because of rain here on Thursday.
In his second bout on Friday, Nadal was ousted by Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 7-5, 7-6 (7-0) at The Queen's Club. Nadal was fresh off his third straight title at the French Open, where he, of course, excels on the red clay at Roland Garros.
Mahut started his day Friday by stunning fifth-seeded Croat Ivan Ljubicic 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 in the third round. Rain forced the suspension of that match here on Day 4.
The 106th-ranked Mahut will appear in his first-ever ATP semi.
The second-seeded Roddick, meanwhile, avoided an upset by handling Croatian wild card Marin Cilic 6-4, 7-6 (7-5). The former world No. 1 Roddick captured this London event back-to-back-to-back from 2003-05.
Another quarterfinal upset came when seventh-seeded Russian Dmitry Tursunov tripped up third-seeded Aussie Open runner-up Fernando Gonzalez of Chile 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-4.
One other quarter saw 14th-seeded Frenchman Arnaud Clement dismiss 6-foot-10 Croat Ivo Karlovic 7-5, 6-4. Earlier in the day, Clement stunned fourth-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 in third-round action. Djokovic was a semifinal loser at the hands of Nadal last week in Paris. Karlovic lost to Roddick in the 2005 Queen's Club finale.
Saturday's semis will pit Roddick against Tursunov and Clement versus his fellow Frenchman Mahut. Tursunov bested Roddick in an epic Davis Cup rubber last year, as he propelled the Russians into the final with a five-set victory over the American, including a 32-game (17-15) fifth set win.

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.
