Nadal, Federer will play U.S. Open SF matches Saturday
Tennis Betting Lines
09/10/2010 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - World No. 1 stalwart Rafael Nadal and former top-ranked superstar Roger Federer are on a collision course to meet in Sunday's men's final at the 2010 U.S. Open. The two tennis greats have never met here in New York.
The eight-time major titlist Nadal will face 12th-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny, while the second-seeded 16-time Grand Slam titlist Federer will take on third-seeded former U.S. Open runner-up Novak Djokovic at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Nadal is 7-4 lifetime against Youzhny, who will appear in his second U.S. Open semifinal in five years. The Spaniard is 3-1 in their career Grand Slam encounters, but the Russian topped Nadal here in the 2006 U.S. Open quarterfinals.
The reigning Wimbledon and French Open champion Nadal needs a U.S. Open title to complete the career Golden Slam, which is all four majors and an Olympic gold medal.
If Nadal, who has yet to drop a set at this '10 fortnight, can capture the title here, he would become just the seventh man in history to complete the career Grand Slam.
Meanwhile, Federer will meet Djokovic for a 16th time, with the super Swiss holding a comfortable 10-5 lifetime advantage, including wins here in New York in each of the previous three years. The Swiss topped the Serb in the 2007 U.S. Open final and the 2008 and 2009 semifinals.
Federer is 4-1 overall versus the former Aussie Open champion Djokovic in Grand Slam competition.
The 29-year-old Federer has played in the last six U.S. Open finals, including a loss against Juan Martin del Potro here a year ago. The reigning Aussie Open champ captured five straight U.S. Open championships from 2004-08.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
