09/19/2008 - Tokyo, Japan (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Serbian Jelena Jankovic and Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva of Russia were a pair of quarterfinal upset victims Friday at the $1.34 million Pan Pacific Open tennis event.

Fifth-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova dismissed the U.S. Open runner-up and former world No. 1 Jankovic 2-6, 7-5, 7-5, while Slovenian qualifier Katarina Srebotnik toppled the third-seeded Dementieva in 6-3, 6-4 fashion on Day 5 at Ariake Colosseum. Dementieva captured this tournament two years ago.

Fourth-seeded Russian Dinara Safina secured a berth in the semifinals by holding off Estonian qualifier Kaia Kanepi 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, while another upset occurred when Russian Nadia Petrova erased sixth-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3, 6-0. Safina was this year's French Open and Olympic runner-up.

Saturday's semis will feature a trio of Russians, as Safina will take on her countrywoman Petrova and Kuznetsova will encounter the capable Srebotnik, who upset the Russian in the third round at the U.S. Open just last month. Srebotnik has four wins against Top-10 players this season.

The 2008 champion at this Tier I hardcourt tournament will collect $196,900.

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
