Tennis Betting Lines

05/10/2009 - Estoril, Portugal (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After having their semifinal match suspended Saturday due to darkness, fourth-seeded James Blake and three-time finalist Nikolay Davydenko resumed play on Sunday at the $595,000 clay-court Estoril Open.

The second-seeded Davydenko beat Blake 7-6 (7-3) in the first set and was trailing 4-2 in the second before the match was interrupted at National Stadium. Blake went on to capture the second set 7-6 (7-2) and won the decisive third set 6-3 to become the first American to reach the final here since 1999.

Blake, who is a flawless 7-0 lifetime against the world No. 11 Russian star, will play seventh-seeded Albert Montanes in the final, also to be played on Sunday, after the Spaniard made short work of Chilean Paul Capdeville in Saturday's first semifinal bout.

Davydenko, who titled here in 2003, lost to the great Roger Federer in last year's finale and also came up short in the 2006 final.

The 2009 Estoril champ will collect $96,000.
