08/21/2010 - Mason, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Swiss superstar Roger Federer will meet wild card American Mardy Fish in the final of the $3 million Western & Southern Financial Group Masters after each won his respective semifinal matchup.
Federer cruised past Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, needing 70 minutes to advance to his second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 final in as many weeks. Last week, Federer fell to Andy Murray in the title match at Toronto.
The former world No. 1 and third seed here, Federer has won this tournament in 2005, 2007 and 2009. He has not captured a title since winning the Australian Open in January.
Meanwhile, Fish rallied past fellow American Andy Roddick in the early rain-slowed semifinal matchup.
Roddick, the ninth seed, led early but succumbed in Fish's 4-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-1 victory, preventing the 2003 Cincinnati champ from exacting a measure of revenge for a loss in the duo's last meeting in Atlanta last month.
The 27-year-old Roddick had taken a 5-4 lead in the first set before the match was suspended briefly by rain, then finished off the deciding point shortly after play resumed.
He raced out to a 4-1 lead in the second set and was poised for victory with a 5-2 lead before rain halted action once more. Fish rallied for three points to tie, then rallied once more to reach a tiebreaker.
Fish took control by bolting out to a 3-0 edge in the third set and never looked back.
The 2010 Cincinnati titlist will claim $443,500.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
