Berdych retires

September
3

Andy Roddick got another gift yesterday when Tomas Berdych retired in the second set of a fourth-round match at the U.S. Open. The pair played a tiebreak in the first, won by Roddick, and down 2-0 in the second Berdych pulled out. He had been complaining about being unable to breathe and feeling queasy, which was picked up by the courtside microphones.

After Roddick went to Court 5 to practice. And James Blake just got on court for his match against Tommy Haas.

In other matches, Israeli Shahar Peer beat Agnieszka Radwanska, 6-4, 6-1.

    Finally Roddick gets a break. Usually its Federer who gets these kinds of gimmies.
    Has he faced a seeded player yet?

    Not that it will matter, but usually Roddick is on court twice as much as Rog, prior to their meetings.
