[女王]Friday Preview: Top Three Going for Glory
By Barry Newcombe
Sebastien Grosjean v Andy Roddick: Roddick leads 5-1
The shifting patterns of tennis at the top are underlined
by this quarter-final which matches the two players who
competed in the past two Stella Artois finals, Andy Roddick
and Sebastien Grosjean. Roddick won both of those finals
and there is now the prospect that he could emulate both
John McEnroe and Lleyton Hewitt by winning a third in
successive years. For the moment Roddick has to concentrate
on beating Grosjean, the seventh seed, in the knowledge
that he has won their last five matches. Grosjean won their
opening encounter in the Davis Cup semi-final between France
and the USA at Stade Roland Garros in Paris in 2002. In that
same Davis Cup match Grosjean defeated James Blake against
whom he had an epic struggle in the Stella Artois third round
yesterday when he saved five match points before coming through.
Grosjean has not won a set in the two matches against Roddick
at Queen's Club but will dig in for the challenge today, trying
to gain positions against one of the strongest servers in the
game and counter punching as the opportunities arise. But
Roddick has to be confident.
Verdict: Roddick to march on
