Tennis Betting Lines

07/13/2010 - Stuttgart, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sixth-seeded German favorite Philipp Kohlschreiber was an opening-round upset victim Tuesday at the Mercedes Cup tennis event.

German Florian Mayer upended his compatriot Kohlschreiber 6-4, 6-2 on the red clay at TC Weissenhof.

Fifth-seeded Spaniard Albert Montanes avoided an upset by overcoming Germany's Philipp Petzschner 2-6, 7-5, 6-2, while seventh-seeded former top-10 performer Gilles Simon of France held off 6-foot-5 Jamaican wild card Dustin Brown 6-3. 3-6, 7-6 (7-1) on Day 2.

Unseeded defending Stuttgart titlist Jeremy Chardy came up a loser on Day 2, as the Frenchman succumbed to Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver 7-5, 6-7 (6-8), 6-3. Chardy defeated Romanian Victor Hanescu in last year's Mercedes Cup finale. Hanescu exited the draw here on Monday. Gimeno-Traver will face top- seeded Russian star Nikolay Davdyenko in the round of 16.

In other matches involving Germans, Simon Greul grounded his fellow countryman Michael Berrer 7-6 (8-6), 6-4; Argentine Horacio Zeballos doused Andreas Beck 6-4, 7-5; wild card Bjorn Phau drilled Romanian qualifier Victor Crivoi 6-2, 6-3; and Spanish qualifier Pablo Andujar overcame German qualifier Bastian Knittel 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.
