Djokovic, Tsonga roll into fourth round in Melbourne

Tennis Betting Lines

01/21/2012 - Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Last year's champion Novak Djokovic and Jo-Wilfred Tsonga were straight-set winners Saturday in third-round action at the Australian Open.

The world No. 1 Djokovic rolled past big-serving Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 6-0, 6-1, 6-1 on Day 6.

The reigning Aussie Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open titlist has now won 35 of his last 37 Grand Slam matches and is seeking a third straight major title and a third Aussie crown. A title here would put Djokovic in select company, as only four players -- Rod Laver, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal -- have captured three straight Grand Slam championships.

France's Tsonga, the tournament's sixth seed, handled Frederico Gil of Portugal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2. The 2008 Aussie runner-up fired six aces and hit 35 winners to advance to the third round.

Fifth-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer took care of Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela 7-5, 6-2, 6-1.

Andy Murray and Aussie veteran Lleyton Hewitt are also in action on Saturday. Hewitt will battle Canada's Milos Raonic while the fourth-seeded Murray, who lost to Djokovic in last year's final and was also the runner-up to Roger Federer two years ago, will meet Frenchman Michael Llodra.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
