07/23/2010 - Bad Gastein, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-seeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland and Austrian veteran Yvonne Meusburger were among the quarterfinal winners Friday at the Gastein Ladies tennis tournament.
Bacsinszky, the highest-remaining seeded player after top seed Andrea Petkovic was eliminated on Thursday, rolled to a 6-0, 6-4 victory over Sandra Zahlavova of the Czech Republic.
Next up for Bacsinszky will be Meusburger, who advanced with a 7-5, 6-4 win over eighth-seeded Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia. The 26-year-old Meusburger has never won a WTA title and reached her lone final at this event in 2007.
Bacsinszky has just one WTA crown, winning in Luxembourg last year. She will play in her first semifinal of 2010, as her best previous result this year was a quarterfinal loss to Roberta Vinci at the Barcelona Ladies Open in April.
Meusburger beat the 21-year-old Bacsinszky in the first round of the Australian Open this year for her first win in three lifetime matchups.
Saturday's other semifinal will feature France's Alize Cornet against Julia Goerges of Germany.
Cornet, who knocked off Petrovic on Thursday, needed three sets to dispose of Austrian wild card Patricia Mayr, 6-2, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1, while Goerges also went the distance in a 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4 triumph over Russia's Anastasia Pivovarova.
The 20-year-old Cornet has just one WTA Tour title, taking the Budapest crown in 2008. She will appear in her second semifinal of 2010, having lost to Iveta Benesova in Morocco this spring.
Goerges, trying for her first WTA crown, also reached the semifinals last week in Palermo. She has never played Cornet.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
