Tennis Betting Lines

02/10/2012 - Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Capable German Angelique Kerber upset top- seeded Maria Sharapova in Friday's quarterfinal action at the Open GDF Suez.

The ninth-seeded Kerber upended the Australian Open runner-up Sharapova 6-4, 6-4 at Stade Pierre de Coubertin. The 24-year-old German piled up five service breaks, while the former world No. 1 Sharapova settled for three.

Kerber was a surprise U.S. Open semifinalist in September.

The three-time major champion Sharapova lost to Belarusian Victoria Azarenka in the Aussie Open finale two weeks ago and was also last year's runner-up at Wimbledon.

Another Day-4 upset in Paris came when Czech veteran Klara Zakopalova overcame sixth-seeded German Julia Goerges 3-6, 7-5, 6-1.

The winner of this $637,000 event will pocket $107,000.
