07/17/2010 - Stuttgart, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - France's Gael Monfils and Albert Montanes of Spain will square off in the final of the Mercedes Cup tennis event following their semifinal wins Saturday.

The third-seeded Monfils was taken to a third set by Spaniard Daniel Gimeno- Traver, but prevailed by firing four aces and winning 71 percent of his service points in the decisive final set for a 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 triumph.

Gimeno-Traver had upset top-seeded Nikolay Davydenko in the second round.

Montanes, seeded fifth, bounced fourth-seeded countrymate Juan Carlos Ferrero, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6), on the red clay at TC Weissenhof.

Montanes won the only other meeting against Monfils back in 2005. Monfils is seeking his third career singles crown and first of 2010, while Montanes is going for a fifth ATP title and second this year. Montanes won in Estoril back in May.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
