Andy sweats out a win...
Newly-engaged Andy Roddick had to work extra hard to advance to the quarterfinals of the Sony Erriccson Open on Tuesday but managed to beat France's Julien Bennetaeu in three sets. So what is his reward? A match against Roger Federer, the top-ranked player who had struggled lately but always seems to find a way to beat Andy who he has a 15-1 record against.
“He’s one of the few guys that I’ve probably played three or four really, really good matches against him and came up short,” Roddick said of Federer. “I think I have brought out the best in him a couple of times. All I can do is put my best foot forward, and hopefully right now he’s thinking about it a little bit."
I'm a big fan of both players so it's tough to pick sides. I'd love to see Andy break through but I'd also like to see Roger re-establish himself.
