Tennis Betting Lines
07/19/2010 - Bad Gastein, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ioana Raluca Olaru of Romania was among the first-round winners Monday at the Gastein Ladies tennis tournament.
Olaru rallied for a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Germany's Kathrin Woerle on the red clay. She was the runner-up at this event last year, losing to Andrea Petkovic of Germany in her first career WTA Tour final.
Petkovic is this year's top seed and will take on Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic in her first-round match.
It's been a difficult year for Olaru, as she hasn't been past the second round in any tournament. She lost to eventual champ Kaia Kanepi in the second round of last week's event in Palermo.
Also winning on Monday's limited schedule were France's Alize Cornet, Simona Halep of Romania and Mariya Koryttseva of the Ukraine.
Cornet breezed past Arantxa Rus of Holland with a 6-2, 6-0 rout, while Halep toppled Renata Voracova of the Czech Republic, 7-5, 6-2. Koryttseva gutted out a 6-7 (2-7), 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 win over Germany's Tatjana Malek.
