Tennis Betting Lines

09/11/2008 - Bucharest, Romania (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet and former champion Jose Acasuso posted second-round wins Thursday at the $525,000 BCR Open Romania.

The world No. 12 Gasquet grounded Romanian wild card Victor Crivoi 6-3, 6-2, while the eighth-seeded Acasuso erased fellow Argentine Martin Vassallo Arguello 6-4, 7-5 on the red clay at Arenele BNR. Acasuso captured this tournament back in 2004.

Gasquet will encounter Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili, while Acasuso will battle Spaniard Ivan Navarro in Friday's quarterfinals.

In other second-round action, Gabashvili leveled Romanian wild card Adrian Cruciat 6-1, 6-2 and Navarro topped Denis Gremelmayr 6-3, 1-0, as the German retired with a left ankle injury.

The other quarters will pit second-seeded and reigning Bucharest champion Gilles Simon against fellow Frenchman Florent Serra and sixth-seeded Carlos Moya versus fellow Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Simon defeated Bucharest's own Victor Hanescu in last year's final, while Simon was the titlist here in 2005. The former world No. 1 Moya was the Bucharest runner-up 12 years ago.
