Tennis Betting Lines

05/10/2009 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic outlasted Russian Mikhail Youzhny in an epic three-set battle to claim the championship on Sunday at the BMW Open.

The fourth-seeded Berdych earned a 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7-5) victory to capture his fifth career ATP title and pocket $95,000. Both players were appearing in their first final of the year and the ninth of their career.

Youzhny played in his second Munich final, having lost to Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber in the 2007 title match.

Berdych and Youzhny met for the third time in 2009. Youzhny won a first-round match in Marseille back in February and Berdych returned the favor a month later in the second round of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. Both went three sets.

Youzhny has still won five of the nine all-time meetings between the two.
