Williams sisters take doubles title at Wimbledon
Tennis Betting Lines
07/04/2009 - Wimbledon, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The dominating Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, won the doubles final on Saturday at Wimbledon, just hours after the sisters faced each other in the single's final.
Serena and Venus needed just two sets to defeat the third-seeded Aussie pairing of Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs 7-6 (7-4), 6-4.
It's the fourth time these two have won the double's final as they took home the championship in 2000, 2002 and last year. In the 2008 final, they topped Stosur and Lisa Raymond.
The result came just a few hours after Serena polished off her older sister, beating Venus and denying her a three-peat at the All England Club with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 triumph.
The Williams sisters have combined to win eight of the 10 Wimbledon singles titles this decade. The second-seeded Serena also had championships in 2002 and '03. She lost to Venus in straight sets last year in the final.
Serena and Venus are 9-0 in their career Grand Slam doubles finals, including a victory at this year's Aussie Open.
The sisters will split $377,000.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
