Djokovic will skip Davis Cup opener next week

Tennis Betting Lines

02/01/2012 - Belgrade, Serbia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fresh off his nearly-six-hour victory over Rafael Nadal in Sunday's final at the Australian Open, world No. 1 star Novak Djokovic will not play in next week Davis Cup first-round tie against visiting Sweden.

Djokovic needed 5 hours, 53 minutes to stave off Nadal in five sets in Melbourne and is looking forward to some much-needed rest.

Serbian captain Bogdan Obradovic made the decision to rest Djokovic.

The Serbs should be in good hands with world No. 9 Janko Tipsarevic and 22nd- ranked Viktor Troicki.

The 2010 champion Serbs will host the Swedes in Nis from February 10-12. Serbia whipped a host Sweden 4-1 in the quarterfinals last year.

Djokovic led Serbia to its first-ever Davis Cup title two years ago.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
