05/12/2008 - Hamburg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australian Open runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was among Monday's opening-round winners, while 10th-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny came up a loser at the $2.955 million Masters Series Hamburg, a clay-court French Open tuneup.
The 14th-seeded Tsonga was bageled in his opening set against fellow Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, but Tsonga fought back to pull out a 0-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 victory at Rothenbaum.
Youzhny, meanwhile, was sent packing by Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 6-2 on Day 2.
In other action involving seeds, No. 12 Argentine Juan Monaco topped Italian Filippo Volandri 6-1, 4-0 and No. 15 Brit Andy Murray mauled Russian Dmitry Tursunov 6-4, 6-1. Volandri retired due to a right knee injury.
In some other first-round play, Frenchman Michael Llodra beat Argentine Guillermo Canas 7-6 (9-7), 6-2 and Spaniard Albert Montanes dismissed American Mardy Fish 6-1, 6-3.
Additional wins came for Czech lucky-loser Ivo Minar, Italian Simone Bolelli, Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela and Belgian lucky-loser Olivier Rochus.
This week's top seed, Swiss superstar Roger Federer, beat Spanish clay-court wizard Rafael Nadal in last year's Hamburg finale. It marked Federer's fourth title here in six years (2002, 2004-05, 2007).

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
