Nadal, Blake, Nalbandian highlight Saturday action in Melbourne

Tennis Betting Lines

01/19/2007 - Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - There are only eight men's singles matches on Saturday's schedule at the Australian Open, but no less than 12 seeds will take to the courts at the year's first Grand Slam event.

Second-seeded Spaniard Rafael Nadal, third-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko, fifth-seeded American James Blake and former Wimbledon runner-up David Nalbandian will play their third-round matches at Melbourne Park.

The reigning two-time French Open champion and 2006 Wimbledon runner-up Nadal will take on 31st-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka, while Davydenko will battle crafty French veteran Fabrice Santoro. The gritty Davydenko reached the quarterfinals here in each of the last two years.

The 2006 Tennis Masters Cup runner-up Blake will be opposed by his fellow American Robby Ginepri, while the eighth-seeded 2005 Masters Cup titlist Nalbandian will take on 28th-seeded speedy Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean. Blake titled at last week's Aussie Open tune-up in Sydney. Nalbandian has reached at least the quarterfinals here four straight years, while Grosjean has reached at least the quarters in four of his previous eight trips to Melbourne.

Perhaps the marquee bout of the day will pit 10th-seeded Chilean Fernando Gonzalez against 19th-seeded heavy Aussie crowd favorite Lleyton Hewitt. The two-time Grand Slam champion and former world No. 1 Hewitt was the 2005 Aussie Open runner-up to big Russian Marat Safin.

In other third-round action, 12th-seeded German Tommy Haas will encounter his countryman Florian Mayer, 13th-seeded Czech slugger Tomas Berdych will face 21st-seeded Russian Dmitry Tursunov and 15th-seeded Brit Andy Murray will be opposed by Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela.
