Tennis Betting Lines

04/30/2010 - Fes, Morocco (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seventh-seeded Iveta Benesova and tour newcomer Simona Halep will battle in Saturday's final at the $220,000 Moroccan Grand Prix tennis tournament.

The Czech Benesova held off France's Alize Cornet 6-3, 4-6, 7-5 in 2 hours, 35 minutes, while the 18-year-old Romanian qualifier Halep handled Czech Renata Voracova 7-5, 6-4 in an hour-and-a-half in Friday's semifinal action on the red clay at Fes Royal Tennis Club.

Halep captured the junior French Open championship two years ago and will now appear in her first-ever WTA Tour final.

The 27-year-old Benesova will appear in her eighth career final (1-6), seeking a second career title, and her first one in six years. The lefthander's last final appearance resulted in a loss in Hobart last year.

Halep beat Benesova in straight sets, on clay, in Marbella, Spain just three weeks ago.

Fes, which is the only WTA stop in Africa, serves as a tune-up for the French Open, which will commence May 23 in Paris.

Saturday's champion will earn $37,000.
