06/28/2010 - Wimbledon, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kim Clijsters came from behind to defeat her fellow former world No. 1 Belgian stalwart Justine Henin, while five-time champion and former top-ranked star Venus Williams also joined the parade into the quarterfinals Monday at Wimbledon.
The eighth-seeded U.S. Open champion Clijsters dropped the first set against the 17th-seeded Henin before charging back for a 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 decision on Court 1 at the All England Club.
Clijsters prevailed in 1 hour, 28 minutes despite striking only one ace and piling up six double faults. She did, however, tally one more service break (3-2) than her great rival.
The two-time U.S. Open champion Clijsters is now 13-12 lifetime against Henin, including 3-5 now in Grand Slams.
The seven-time major champion Henin, who was this year's Australian Open runner-up to Serena Williams, still needs Wimbledon to complete the coveted career Grand Slam. She reached finals here in 2001 and 2006, but lost to five- time champion Venus Williams and Amelie Mauresmo, respectively.
Henin was fresh off her grass-court title in The Netherlands.
Clijsters' quarterfinal opponent will be 21st-seeded Russian Vera Zvonareva.
The second-seeded 2009 Wimbledon runner-up Venus advanced to the quarters by handling surprising Aussie Jarmila Groth 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) on Court 2 at the AEC. The crowd on Court 2 booed Venus upon her late arrival for her Day-7 match.
Venus, who has reached the final here eight times in the last 10 years (5-3), will next face Tsvetana Pironkova, after the Bulgarian defeated 11th seed Marion Bartoli of France 6-4, 6-4. Bartoli was the 2007 Wimbledon runner-up to Venus.
The 22-year-old Pironkova is a first-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist.
Another upstart, Czech Petra Kvitova, manhandled third-seeded Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-0 on Monday. The Danish Wozniacki was last year's U.S. Open runner-up to Clijsters.
The 20-year-old Kvitova will appear in her first-ever major quarter.
Fourth-seeded Serbian star Jelena Jankovic retired Monday from her fourth- round bout against the aforementioned Zvonareva.
Jankovic took a spill early in her match and received treatment on her back, trailing Zvonareva 6-1, 3-0 at the time. The Serb would retire three points later.
The 25-year-old former world No. 1 Jankovic has yet to make it past the fourth round in her career at Wimbledon.
Zvonareva will now play in her first-ever quarterfinal at the All England Club.
Also on Monday, ninth seed Li Na of China upended No. 7 seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland 6-3, 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals here for a second time. Li appeared in her first-ever major semifinal at January's Aussie Open.
Radwanska had previously never lost to a player seeded outside the top six at Wimbledon.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
