Kvitova, Benesova lift Czechs to lead over Germany
Tennis Betting Lines
02/04/2012 -
Stuttgart, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Petra Kvitova and Iveta Benesova each
won three-set thrillers to give the Czech Republic a commanding 2-0 lead over
Germany in its Fed Cup quarterfinal.
Benesova gave the defending Fed Cup champions the first point with a 2-6, 6-4,
6-2 victory over Sabine Lisicki before Kvitova outlasted Julia Goerges in a
3-6, 6-3, 10-8 marathon.
Kvitova, the reigning Wimbledon champ and world No. 2, needed two hours and 21
minutes to finally dispatch Goerges. She earned her 26th consecutive win on
indoor hardcourts.
It will be a quick turnaround for Kvitova, who will give the Czechs the first
chance to close out the best-of-five tie on Sunday against Lisicki in the
first reverse singles match.
Benesova and Goerges are scheduled to meet in the second singles match Sunday,
while the doubles match currently will feature a German tandem of Anna-Lena
Groenefeld and Angelique Kerber against a Czech pairing of Lucie Hradecka and
Barbora Zahlavova Strycova.
The Czechs are 5-1 all-time against Germany, which has captured the Fed Cup
twice in its history. The Czechs won last year's crown by beating Russia,
3-2, in the final.
This weekend's winner will face the Italy-Ukraine victor in April's
semifinals.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
