Roddick Advances to Quarterfinals at Wimbledon

Part-time Austin resident Andy Roddick is America’s Lone Star remaining at Wimbledon. Roddick, the #2 seed, defeated #15 Guillermo Coria in straight sets (6-3, 7-6, 6-4), conserving his energy for a quarterfinal match with grass court specialist Sebastien Grosjean, a two-time semi-finalist. Roddick is on course to face his nemesis, Switzerland’s Roger Federer, in Sunday’s finals. Federer, the top-ranked player in the world, has owned Roddick over the past few years, beating him in last year's finals and in the semifinals two years ago.
