Horna scored a 6-4, 6-3 win in the round-robin tournament in the first meeting against his Argentine opponent. Another round-robin upset came when Spaniard Albert Montanes took out third- seeded Argentine favorite Agustin Calleri 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-4 at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club. Calleri, who was the runner-up here in 2002, beat Montanes last week in Costa do Sauipe In other round-robin stage action, fourth-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro downed Argentine Martin Vassallo Arguello 7-5, 6-4; fifth-seeded Spaniard Carlos Moya beat Italian Potito Starace, 6-4, 6-4; and Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentti topped France's Nicolas Devilder 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.

In another round-robin match, Italy's Alessio Di Mauro topped Spain's Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo, 6-4, 7-6 (10-8). In main-draw elimination play, Argentine Guillermo Canas stayed red hot by dousing his countryman Juan-Pablo Guzman 7-6 (7-4), 6-3. Canas, who recently returned to the ATP following a doping suspension, is fresh off his title last week in Costa do Sauipe. Also in main-draw elimination play, Brazilian Flavio Saretta subdued Czech Lukas Dlouhy 6-3, 6-1. This week's tournament is a 32-player round-robin draw consisting of a 16- player "play-off," with eight winners joining 16 other players to make up eight groups of three players. Each player then plays two guaranteed matches in the round-robin stage. The winner from each group will advance to the knockout round (quarterfinals), and then will play out the event, per a traditional single-elimination format. The 2007 Copa Telmex winner will collect $66,450.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team. Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team. "I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success." Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate. Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns. But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches. Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
