Tennis Betting Lines

04/27/2009 - Stuttgart, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rising Belarusian Victoria Azarenka was Monday's lone main-draw winner at the $700,000 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.

The fourth-seeded Azarenka handled Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1, 6-4 on the indoor red clay at Porsche Arena. The world No. 8 Azarenka was the surprise titlist at the so-called "Fifth Slam" in Miami earlier this month.

This week's top seeds are world No. 1 Dinara Safina, Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva and reigning Stuttgart champion Jelena Jankovic, who topped Russian Nadia Petrova in last year's finale here.

The 2009 Porsche titlist will pocket $107,000.
