A Win for Andy

To the relief of his fans, "Rocket Man" Andy Roddick has come through the second round of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic with flying colors, rocketing through Giovanni Lapentti 6-3,6-4.

The field looks relatively strong, even with Andre Agassi's absence and Lleyton Hewitt not defending the title. Roddick's half of the draw has players like Tim Henman (2003 champion), Ivo Karlovic, Greg Rusedski, and Max Mirnyi. The other half of the draw features Nicholas Kiefer, Nicholas Massu, James Blake (2002 champion), and Sebastien Grosjean.

Looking at the draw, it just hit me that Andy's half has the serve-and-volley specialists, while the other half is composed of baseliners/all-courters.

EDIT: Whoops. Well, "The Gentleman" Tim Henman has been ousted by Wesley Moodie 6-7,5-7.
