03/07/2010 - Logrono, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Ferrer whipped Stanislas Wawrinka in Sunday's first reverse singles match, sending Spain into the Davis Cup quarterfinals with a first-round victory over Switzerland. The two-time defending champion Spaniards beat the visiting Swiss 4-1.
Ferrer gave the hosts an unassailable 3-1 lead by blasting Wawrinka 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 in 2 hours, 34 minutes to send the champs into the quarterfinals against France.
A dead rubber on Sunday saw Nicolas Almagro dust Swiss Marco Chiudinelli 6-1. 6-3 to put the finishing touch on the Spanish win.
Spain grabbed a 2-1 lead here on Saturday when its doubles tandem of Tommy Robredo and Marcel Granollers defeated a Swiss pairing of Wawrinka and Yves Allegro 7-6 (10-8), 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 on the red clay at the Plaza de Toros de la Ribera.
On Friday, Wawrinka gave the Swiss a 1-0 lead with a marathon 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Almagro before Ferrer leveled the tie for Spain with a 6-2, 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 victory over Chiudinelli.
Switzerland played without world No. 1 superstar Roger Federer, while Spain did not have its great star, Rafael Nadal, in the lineup. Federer had previously announced that he would not play this week, while the former No. 1 oft-injured Nadal is nursing a bad knee.
Powerful Spain is captained by former French Open champ Albert Costa, while the Swiss was led by Severin Luthi.
The Spaniards are now 5-1 all-time against the Swiss, in a series that dates back to 1946.
Spain beat the Czech Republic in last year's final and won four Davis Cup titles in the 2000s, including two straight to close out the decade. The Spaniards are now unbeaten in 19 home ties stretching back to 1999.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
