Tennis Betting Lines
06/17/2007 - Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sixth-seeded American Meghann Shaughnessy captured the inaugural $145,000 Barcelona KIA tennis event after defeating Romanian Edina Gallovits in Saturday's final.
The 28-year-old Shaughnessy breezed past the unseeded Gallovits 6-3, 6-2 in their first-ever meeting on the court.
The veteran Shaughnessy now owns six career titles and this is her first since last year, when she corralled a pair of wins on the circuit.
"Every title I've won is so different; the first one was special, but this was a really nice one to win too," Shaughnessy said. "I always just play one match at a time because the competition is so tough these days it doesn't matter what you did yesterday or last week. Even though I only lost one set this week, every one was very close, and I'm just really happy. I feel more confident about my game."
Shaughnessy got past eighth-seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta at this clay- court event on Friday to advance to Saturday's final, while the 22-year-old Gallovits secured her first-ever berth in a title match by dousing seventh- seeded Frenchwoman Virginie Razzano on Day 5.
Shaughnessy collected $21,140 for her victory while Gallovits earned $11,395.
"I just came here trying to work on my game for Wimbledon so it turned out to be a great week," Gallovits said. "I didn't focus on winning. I just tried to work on things and they all went well. It's like I woke up one day and I was in the final!"

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
