Darcis wins first ATP final at Dutch Open

Tennis Betting Lines

07/22/2007 - Amersfoort, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Belgian qualifier Steve Darcis upended unseeded Werner Eschauer of Austria in straight sets Sunday to win the Dutch Open title.

It was the first career ATP championship for Darcis who came from behind and stunned second seed Mikhail Youzhny in the semifinals on Saturday.

It took just over 90 minutes for Darcis to dismiss the Austrian in the first career matchup for the two players. Darcis dominated the first set and then blitzed Eschauer in the tiebreaker of a hard fought second frame en route to the 6-1, 7-6 (7-1) victory.

The 33-year old Eschauer, who was playing in the first ATP final of his 13- year pro career, was seeking to become the oldest first-time ATP titlist since Wayne Arthurs won at 33 years, 11 months in 2005.

Eschauer upset third seed Carlos Moya in the quarterfinals and then whipped Dutchman Robin Haase 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the finals.

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.
