09/04/2010 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded 2009 runner-up Caroline Wozniacki and former champion Maria Sharapova were easy third-round winners, while former finalist Jelena Jankovic went by way of the upset Saturday at the U.S. Open.
The red-hot Wozniacki dismantled Taipei's Yung-Jan Chan 6-1, 6-0 in 73 minutes at Armstrong Stadium, while the 14th-seeded former world No. 1 Sharapova double-bageled helpless American teenager Beatrice Capra 6-0, 6-0, also in 73 minutes, at Ashe Stadium. Sharapova lost to an American teenager, Melanie Oudin, in the third round here a year ago, but history did not even come close to repeating itself on Saturday.
Wozniacki and the three-time major champion Sharapova will meet in a blockbuster fourth-round match here. The 23-year-old Sharapova is 2-0 lifetime against the 20-year-old Dane, with both matches coming in 2008.
The Russian Sharapova captured her U.S. Open title back in 2006. Wozniacki lost to former top-ranked Belgian star Kim Clijsters in last year's finale in Flushing.
Wozniacki has won 11 straight and 17 of her last 18 matches, including titles in her last two events, in Montreal and New Haven, respectively. The talented Dane is seeking her fourth title in five events overall.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon quarterfinalist Kaia Kanepi stunned the former world No. 1 Jankovic 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The 31st-seeded Estonian dismissed the fourth-seeded Jankovic in 1 hour, 48 minutes, as the Serbian star piled up 41 unforced errors and had her suspect serve broken on five occasions amid very windy conditions on Day 6.
"It was really tough to play tennis, because, I mean, it's tough to serve, tough to hit the balls," Jankovic said. "The balls move all over the place, and I had a really hard time over there. Unfortunately, I lost."
Jankovic lost to American great Serena Williams in the 2008 final here.
German Andrea Petkovic reached the "Sweet 16" without even lifting her racquet on Saturday, as her scheduled opponent, Chinese Peng Shuai, pulled out of the draw, thus giving the German a walkover into the next round.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
