Andy Roddick returns to winning ways...

Andy Roddick has been looking rather glum all week - I have not seen a single photo of his smiling - but he still managed to win the opening match of the U.S. Davis Cup match against Austria. The match took place on Andy's absolute worst surface: slow red clay. He finally prevailed over Jurgen Melzer 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-3.

"The court was terrible, the worst I ever played on in Davis Cup," Andy said. "It was the tough match I expected but I won and that means we accomplished our goal."

The winner of the best-of-five cxontest will move into the quartefinals of the team competition which the U.S. won last year.
