08/26/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - World No. 1 Rafael Nadal and former top-ranked superstar Roger Federer could meet in the final at the 2010 U.S. Open, which revealed the men's draw on Thursday.
The top-seeded Nadal will open his stay in New York against Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili, while the five-time champion and 2009 runner-up Federer will face Argentine Brian Dabul in the round of 128 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Nadal could face eighth-seeded fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco or 31st- seeded very dangerous Argentine David Nalbandian in the quarterfinals, while his potential semifinal opponent could be fourth-seeded Andy Murray or seventh-seeded Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych. Murray will open up against Slovakian Lukas Lacko, while Berdych will meet capable Frenchman Michael Llodra in round one. Murray was this year's Australian Open runner-up to Federer and lost to the Swiss icon in the 2008 U.S. Open finale. Berdych succumbed to Nadal in last month's Wimbledon title tilt.
The eight-time major titlist Nadal could only face his great rival Federer on the final day of the year's last Grand Slam event. The reigning Wimbledon and French Open champion Nadal still needs a U.S. Open title to complete a career Grand Slam. Federer became only the sixth man to accomplish that feat when he titled at Roland Garros last season.
Nadal has yet to reach a U.S. Open final.
Federer, who owns a men's record 16 major titles, could face two-time French Open runner-up Robin Soderling in the quarters. while his potential semifinal opponents could be third-seeded Novak Djokovic, sixth-seeded Nikolay Davydenko or ninth-seeded American favorite Andy Roddick. Djokovic lost to Federer in the 2007 final here, while Roddick captured his lone Grand Slam title here in New York seven years ago and lost to the amazing Federer in the 2006 final at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The former Aussie Open champion Djokovic will open against fellow Serb Viktor Troicki, while the fifth-seeded Soderling will open against a qualifier, Davydenko will meet American journeyman Michael Russell in round one, and Roddick will take on Frenchman Stephane Robert in the round of 128.
Djokovic and Roddick could square off in the quarters.
Federer lost to Argentine Juan Martin del Potro in last year's five-set men's final, but del Potro will not be on hand to defend his title this year as he continues to recover from right wrist surgery.
The 2010 U.S. Open will commence Monday in Flushing Meadows.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
