07/09/2010 - Moscow, Russia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Friday's opening singles winners in the best-of-five Davis Cup quarterfinal between visiting Argentina and host Russia were David Nalbandian and Mikhail Youzhny, respectively.
The oft-injured former Wimbledon runner-up Nalbandian got the Argentines on the board first by straight-setting world No. 6 Nikolay Davdyenko 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (8-6) on the indoor hardcourt at Moscow's Olympic Stadium. The capable former top-five star Nalbandian prevailed in 2 hours, 47 minutes on Day 1.
The 14th-ranked Youzhny then leveled the tie for Russia with a comprehensive 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Leonardo Mayer. The uneventful bout was over in 2 hours, 7 minutes, as Mayer was unable to break Youzhny's serve, while the Russian tallied five breaks in 13 Mayer service games.
Saturday's pivotal doubles rubber will pit a Russian duo of Teimuraz Gabashvili and Igor Kunitysn against an Argentine duo of Nalbandian and Horacio Zeballos, while Sunday's reverse singles currently pit Davydenko against Mayer and Youzhny versus Nalbandian.
Team Russia is captained by long-time skipper Shamil Tarpischev, while the Argentines are led by Tito Vazquez, who also has Eduardo Schwank at his disposal this weekend.
Russia is 3-2 all-time versus Argentina, including a home victory in the final here back in 2006. The Russians captured their first Davis Cup title back in 2002.
Snake-bitten Argentina is still seeking its first-ever championship in this storied sporting event. The Argentines are three-time runners-up.
The winner here will face two-time defending champion Spain or France in September's semifinals.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
