By HOWARD FENDRICH .c The Associated Press UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) - Opening and closing with record-tying 150 mph aces, Andy Roddick beat Jurgen Melzer 6-4, 6-2 Sunday to put the United States ahead of Austria 4-0 in a first-round Davis Cup series the Americans clinched the day before. Robby Ginepri was to play Stefan Koubek in the last match of the best-of-five series. Sunday's singles matches were reduced to best-of-three sets. Ginepri and Roddick won singles matches Friday when U.S. Open champion Roddick broke the service speed mark of 149 mph he shared with Greg Rusedski. Twins Bob and Mike Bryan beat Melzer and Julian Knowle in doubles Saturday. The United States - seeking its first Davis Cup title since 1995 - will host Sweden in the quarterfinals. The Swedes beat defending champion Australia 4-1. The other quarterfinals are: Belarus vs. Argentina, Switzerland vs. France, and Netherlands vs. Spain. Roddick broke Melzer's serve to open their match Sunday. As the players switched sides, fans began chanting ``One fifty-one! One fifty-one!'' - a reference to the service speed they wanted to see from Roddick. He responded by hitting his first serve of the match at 150 mph, sending the ball bouncing into the stands. He took two bows as the crowd gave him a standing ovation. Play was held up for a few seconds while Melzer approached the bleachers to check on a woman who was hit in the shoulder by the ball. After the match, Roddick spoke to the woman, apologizing and making sure she was OK. Roddick lost a total of just 10 points in his nine service games during the match, finishing with 10 aces. The last came on match point. After a 150 mph delivery was called out, Roddick hit a second serve of the same pace and made Melzer whiff. ``His serving is huge. It's unbelievable,'' Melzer said. ``I didn't think it was that fast. He almost killed someone in the 10th row.'' Although the match's outcome wouldn't affect the winner of the series between the countries, Melzer took every point seriously. After one bad volley, he swatted a a ball into the upper deck, then tossed his racket down. When the Austrian argued a couple of calls that went against him, Roddick smirked and muttered, ``Lighten up, huh?'' -- 以後去看Andy比賽的人要小心XDDD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.184.162.63
