Tennis Betting Lines

07/31/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending champion Sam Querrey battled back from a set down to defeat sixth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic in the semifinals Saturday at the $700,000 Farmers Classic tennis event.

The second-seeded American Querrey took a 6-7 (3-7), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 decision over the Serb in under three hours on the hardcourts at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.

Querrey, who beat Aussie Carsten Ball in last year's Los Angeles finale, fought off a match point in the 10th game of the second set before forcing the second tiebreaker of the match. Tipsarevic raced out to a 5-1 lead, but a feisty Querrey won the next six points to send things into a decisive third set.

The Serb took a 3-1 lead in the final set. However, the American fought right back and won three straight games to take a 4-3 edge. Each player went on to hold serve over the next two games, giving Querrey a 5-4 margin.

With the score tied at deuce, Tipsarevic double faulted to put the match in the hands of the American. A long backhand by the Serb gave Querrey the thrilling win.

Querrey will try to become the first player to claim back-to-back titles in LA since countryman Andre Agassi did so in 2001-02. He holds a 3-1 record in title matches this year.

Tipsarevic was attempting to reach the third final of his career.

Querrey will face either top-seeded Scot Andy Murray or fourth-seeded Spaniard Feliciano Lopez in the title match. Murray and Lopez are slated to take the court later Saturday.

This week's champion will collect $111,950.
