10/18/2008 - Zurich, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Venus Williams battled past Ana Ivanovic in a two-plus hour battle of former world No. 1s to join Italy's Flavia Pennetta in the final of the $600,000 Zurich Open.
Williams outlasted the Serbian star Ivanovic 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in just under two hours, 10 minutes. The American sensation improved to 5-1 lifetime against Ivanovic, who had won their only meeting previously this season in the quarterfinals at the Aussie Open. Four years ago, Williams toppled Ivanovic on this stage in Zurich.
Pennetta continued her ride through this event with a 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) victory over Anabel Medina Garrigues. The unseeded Italian player will look for another seeded victim in Williams on Sunday after already downing reigning world No. 1 and U.S. Open runner-up Jelena Jankovic at this event on Thursday.
This week's winner will claim $95,500.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
