Black, Huber win U.S. Open doubles title

Tennis Betting Lines

09/07/2008 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top-seeded tandem of Cara Black and Liezel Huber won their fourth career major championship with a straight- set victory Sunday at the 2008 U.S. Open.

Zimbabwe's Black and the American Huber defeated the 10th-seeded team of American Lisa Raymond and Aussie Samantha Stosur in 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) fashion, and did not drop a set in the entire tournament. Black and Huber had previously won championships in 2007 at Wimbledon and the Australian Open and in 2005 at the All England Club.

Black and Huber breezed through the first set in just over half an hour, but encountered trouble in the second -- it was the first time the duo had been taken to a tiebreak in this tournament. However, they staved off the challenge to notch the victory.

Raymond and Stosur, who won the U.S. Open in 2005 and took the French Open in 2006, were also runners-up this year at Wimbledon.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
