Roddick still a clay court pigeon...

World number three Andy Roddick has never fared well on European red clay but after he routined former French Open champ Gaston Gaudio yesterday, I thought he might have a good run at the Masters Series tournament in Rome. But today, he exited in straight sets, a 6-0, 6-4 victim of claycourt specialist Juan Ignacio Chela.
