02/04/2012 - Charleroi, Belgium (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Serbia and Belgium are even after the first day of play at their Fed Cup quarterfinal.
Jelena Jankovic gave Serbia the first point on Saturday with a 7-5, 7-5 win over Kirsten Flipkens, but Yanina Wickmayer pulled the hosts even in the best- of-five tie with a 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Bojana Jovanovski.
The players had to fight through cold conditions, even though the matches were played indoors, as temperatures outside the Spiroudome were on the negative side of freezing. Overnight snow also affected the building's heating system.
Flipkens, ranked 176th, had plenty of chances to upend the former world No. 1 Jankovic in the opening match. However, she managed to convert just 2-of-11 break-point chances.
Wickmayer was looking at a potential third set in the day's second match, but rallied from a 1-4 deficit in the second by winning the final five games.
The winners from Saturday will square off in the first reverse singles match on Sunday, as Jankovic will face Wickmayer. Flipkens and Jovanovski are slated for the second singles match, while Jankovic is also scheduled for doubles duty with Aleksandra Krunic against the Belgian duo of Tamaryn Hendler and Alison Van Uytvanck.
Belgium owns one Fed Cup title, while Serbia is still in search of its first championship. The Belgians are 2-0 all-time versus the Serbs.
The winner will face the Russia-Spain victor in the semifinals in April.

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
