No more magic for Roddick
by Luke Buttigieg
Tuesday, January 27, 2004
Unseeded Russian Marat Safin has celebrated his 24th birthday by winning a five-set thriller to dump world No.1 and top seed Andy Roddick from Australian Open 2004, setting up a blockbuster semi-final clash with defending champion Andre Agassi in the process.
Roddick took the first set, before the momentum swung to Safin in the second and third, but after Roddick reclaimed the ascendancy in the fourth and looked to be finishing better, Safin willed himself to a 2-6 6-3 7-5 6-7 (0-7) 6-4 victory in three hours and 24 minutes.
The 2000 US Open champion is now just a win away from his second Melbourne Park final in three years, but to get there he'll have to find a way past Agassi, who was leading 6-2 2-0 when a groin injury to Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean gifted the veteran an early finish.
Safin went into the match with a 1-0 head-to-head advantage, and while he was pushed all the way, the 2002 runner-up is delighted to have made it to the semi-finals for a second time, as he climbs back up the rankings after a serious wrist injury.
"He played really well and has improved a lot since last time I played him," Safin said afterwards. "He served well, volleyed well and has a great forehand. It's tough to hold the baseline with him."
"I enjoyed my life so much I started to miss tennis. That's why I'm playing so good maybe, because I was making a great life outside of the court," he added of his lengthy spell away from the game last year.
As for his clash with Agassi, Safin joked that he is not as smart as his older opponent, who was fortunate to spend less than an hour on court against Grosjean, but is pleased to be performing so well after his period on the sidelines.
"He's a great player, and for me it will be nice to play him," Safin said. "It's going to be a great match. No matter what, I'm back. Whatever happens, happens, and I'll have some support form the public I hope."
While Roddick began in fine touch, the same couldn't be said for Safin, who took a while to find his range and committed eight unforced errors in the first four games of the match.
Roddick broke Safin in the second and sixth games to grab a 5-1 lead, and though he was unable to take the set when he served for it in the seventh game, he broke Safin for a third time in just four attempts in the eighth to get off to the flying start.
Safin looked in trouble when he called for treatment on his groin while trailing 1-0 early in the second, but the scare did little to concern him as he broke Roddick in the third and ninth games to level the match at a set all.
Worryingly for Roddick, Safin had started to make the running and was going for the lines at every opportunity, and after games went with serve for the first 11 games of the third set, Safin broke in the 12th to grab a two-sets-to-one advantage.
Both players had their chances to break in the fourth set, but neither was able to make the most of their opportunities until Roddick started the tie-breaker with a winner and then ran away with it, courtesy of several errors from Safin.
After another see-sawing battle in the first eight games of the final set, with Safin scrambling out of trouble several times, the decisive break came in the ninth game, and Safin saved a break back point in the 10th game before putting Roddick away.
Earlier in the day No.4 seed Agassi was handed an early finish and an easy progression to the semi-finals when the injury No.9 seed Grosjean suffered midway through the first set forced him to pull out.
Agassi made a brilliant start to the match, breaking Grosjean in each of his first two service games to bolt to a 4-0 lead, and after strolling through the first set and taking a 2-0 lead in the second, he was off to the showers early when Grosjean pulled out.
Having walked away with the title in his previous three starts in the Australian Open - the sequence that began in 2000 only interrupted by a wrist injury in 2002 - 33-year-old Agassi's winning streak at Melbourne Park has now reached 26 matches.

In the Davis Cup ties against Austria, Roddick hit a 150mph serve so now holds the world record for the fastest recorded serve. I saw the serve and all I can say is if I was his opponent I wouldn't try and return it, I'd run away from it!

Oh Andy has a new hair cut? I dont know if this has been posted Andy and Mandy HAVE split up I know there was a few rumors going around but according to ace magazine they split up because Andy refused to give up his reality tv show and Mandy has said she never wants to be in one.
Ace is a prtey reliable source but I think I won't believe it untill one of them say it. What do you all think?

i guess it must have been when she was around 14 or 16...... she was 14 and nick 16, or mandy was already 16.... anyway, around that age.

Ok well back to Andy as far I can tell they are still together on account of the fact that Mandy has been at Andy's matches this week and Andy was talking about valentines day and what they're going to do. So it looks like ace got it wrong.

It was a good match between Henman and Roddick, as it usually is. I loved the point when Andy hit one shot over the net with so much back spin that it bounced back over the net hehe! I didn't see the semi against Labadze but he didn't do as well as I'd hoped against Federer.

Roddick Hangs Tough
Second seed Andy Roddick rallied from the brink of defeat to beat 2003 Miami finalist Carlos Moya and advance to the semifinals of the NASDAQ-100 Open on Thursday. Roddick was within two points of defeat when Moya double faulted while leading 5-4 30-30 in the third set. Roddick staved off break point in the following game with a scorching crosscourt forehand pass, and clinched a 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 win on his first match point.
Roddick improved to 24-5 on the season and consolidated his hold on second place in the INDESIT ATP 2004 Race. Roddick will meet Vince Spadea in an all-American semifinal after Spadea defeated Argentine Agustin Calleri 7-5, 6-1.

Yay! Go Andy! I didn't see the match cos I'm not at home right now but I read about it and he admitted that he didn't play the best tennis and that Moya was better. I hope he can beat Spadea considering the last time they played Vincent won.

Roddick beat Spadea 6-1 6-3. Yay! He will now play Coria who made an awesome comeback against Gonzalez. Andy has won the pair's two previous meetings the most recent of which was last year at the Masters Cup but if I remember rightly Coria wasn't at his fittest, I could be wrong. Of course I hope Andy wins but I do like Coria. Andy is now the world's number two and if he wins this final it will give him valuable points ahead of Ferrero. However I think he's a looooong way behind Federer. I see 3rd and 2nd spots chopping and changing all year. I think Andy and Juan Carlos have some improving to do until they can get ahead of Federer.

Oh I just watched the match and it was painful to watch. Elania is one of my favourite players but she was just so nervous today. She really couldn't play at all.

Yay! Andy won! Was a bit lucky because Coria was injured and had to retire despite winning the first set. This is Andy's 3rd Tennis Masters title and 26th win of the year. Well done Andy!

Andy helped the USA to a 4-1 win over Sweden in the Davis Cup. Fish lost the first rubber against Bjorkman but Roddick leveled with a win over Enqvist. Then the Bryan brother won the doubles and Roddick won the tie with a demolition of a clearly tired Bjorkman, winning in straight sets 7-6 6-4 6-0. On the last point Roddick beat his own service speed of 150mph to set a new record of 152mph according to the speed gun.

Yeah, shame. Federer isn't competing in it either. Roddick must be tired or something because they say he withdrew for 'non-medical' reasons.

however, i'm looking forward to see him playing on his next tournament!

Me too. Just as long as he feels he's had enough rest. Andy was helped by Fererro losing early on in the Monte Carlo Masters this week. I think Fererro drops points because he did well(may have won it)last year.
