Hantuchova to face Kirilenko for Pattaya crown

Tennis Betting Lines

02/11/2012 - Pattaya City, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending champion Daniela Hantuchova and Maria Kirilenko were semifinal winners Saturday and will meet for the title at the Pattaya Open.

The third-seeded Hantuchova eased past Taiwanese qualifier Su-Wei Hsieh, 6-4, 6-1, after the fourth-seeded Kirilenko gutted out a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Romania's Sorana Cirstea.

Hantuchova beat Tamarine Tanasugarn for last year's title and will play in her second final of 2012. She lost to Kaia Kanepi in the title match at the Australian Open tuneup in Brisbane to start the year.

The 20th-ranked Slovakian is just 4-9 all-time in WTA finals. She has yet to drop a set this week.

Kirilenko is 5-4 in title matches will play in a final for the first time since losing to Victoria Azarenka in Moscow in October 2010. The 26th-ranked Russian's last title came in September 2008, a victory over Samantha Stosur in Seoul.

Hantuchova is 4-2 lifetime against Kirilenko, but the two have never met in a final and haven't faced each other since 2008 in Zurich when Kirilenko earned a 7-5, 6-2 first-round triumph.

Sunday's winner will collect $37,000.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).

To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
