Roddick out at Australian Open

by Erica on January 18th, 2008

I knew it was coming, you know. But it doesn’t make it any easier now that Andy Roddick is out of the Australian Open at the hands of Philipp Kohlschreiber in a 4-6, 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 6-8 battle. The nearly four-hour match saw Roddick fire 42 aces. Sadly for him (and me) it wasn’t enough.

Rafael Nadal won handily, giving Gilles Simon a 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 ticket out of Melbourne. Mikhail Youzhny, Nikolay Davydenko and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also have moved on to the fourth round.

Tsonga - wasn’t he supposed to be gone way back when? Maybe I’ll have to put my weight behind him instead of my former underdog Roddick. Or I could back the Aussie’s homeboy since he’s still in - for now. He has Marcos Baghdatis who has the potential to tumble just about everybody’s little dream house.
