Tennis Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - Hamburg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jurgen Melzer and Andrey Golubev were two of four quarterfinal winners at the German Open Tennis Championships on Friday.

Melzer dispatched Potito Starace of Italy, 6-4, 6-1, in only 69 minutes to reach the semifinals in a fourth tournament this season.

The Austrian, who recently reached his first Grand Slam semifinal at Roland Garros, fired eight aces to earn his 15th clay court win of the season.

Melzer will meet Italy's Andreas Seppi, who outlasted seventh-seeded Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil, 7-6 (7-0), 5-7, 7-5 in three hours and 12 minutes.

Seppi, who has reached the semis for a second time in three years at this event, has won two of three prior matches against Melzer.

Saturday's other semifinal will feature Kazakhstan's Golubev and Germany's Florian Mayer. The two will face each other for the first time.

Golubev, who suffered no let down after knocking off defending champ Nikolay Davydenko Thursday, had a relatively easy time getting past Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin, 6-4, 6-1. He will be trying to reach the final of an event for only the second time in his career, having done so previously in 2008 at St. Petersburg.

Mayer rallied to beat sixth-seeded Juan Carlos Ferrero, 6-7 (3-7), 6-2, 6-3 to advance to the final four of a tournament for the first time this year. He has put himself in position to reach a final for the first time since 2006.
