Tennis Betting Lines

01/30/2012 - Zagreb, Croatia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Croatian tennis hero Ivan Ljubicic was a hard-fought opening-round winner Monday at the Zagreb Indoors tennis event.

The top-seeded Ljubicic slammed 16 aces and held off Slovak Karol Beck 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 6-3 in 2 hours, 18 minutes on the indoor hardcourts at Dom Sportova. The former top-five star Ljubicic captured this tournament back in 2006.

A Croat has won four of the six titles here.

Fifth-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi handled German Daniel Brands 6-4, 7-6 (7-1), while seventh-seeded Dutchman Robin Haase moved on with a 6-2, 6-3 pasting of Croatian wild card Kristijan Mesaros.

Additional first-round wins came for German Matthias Bachinger and Slovak Lukas Lacko.

Wednesday's schedule will feature matches for second-seeded Russian Alex Bogomolov Jr., third-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny, sixth-seeded former champion Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus and eighth-seeded Croat Ivo Karlovic. The former Australian Open runner-up Baghdatis was the Zagreb champ in 2007.

This week's titlist will collect $90,000.
