10/25/2008 - Lyon, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robin Soderling carried the momentum from Friday's victory over Andy Roddick into Saturday's semifinal action, surviving fourth-seeded Gilles Simon in three sets to advance to the final at the Lyon Tennis Grand Prix.
Soderling won a very even statistical match from Simon, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. He won six more points and converted on 4-of-7 break chances to just 2-of-5 breaks won by Simon.
The seventh-seeded Soderling beat the 2005 Lyon champion Roddick on Friday by taking a pair of tiebreaks and maintaining the good form that took him to the Stockholm Open final just two weeks ago.
Soderling also won the title here in 2004, and will look for another crown against Julien Benneteau, who knocked off third-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 7-6 (7-4), 7-5. Benneteau saved 3-of-4 break chances and converted two key breaks to take the closely-fought match.
The 2008 Lyon titlist will collect a first prize of $148,000.

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.
