Tennis Betting Lines

05/08/2010 - Estoril, Portugal (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Reigning champion Albert Montanes will have a chance to defend his title at the clay-court Estoril Open after ousting top-seeded and world No. 1 Roger Federer on Saturday in the semifinals.

The fourth-seeded Montanes took a 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) victory in a little under 1 1/2 hours to drop Federer, who won this tournament in 2008. It is Montanes' first win in four tries against Federer, the 16-time major champion and reigning Australian Open, Wimbledon and French Open titlist.

In the final, Montanes will face Portuguese crowd favorite Frederico Gil, who defeated fifth-seeded Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 to advance.

Gil will appear in his first-ever ATP final, while Montanes will contest the eighth final of his career. Montanes is 3-4 in career title matches, and won his only previous match against Gil.
