Roddick breezes into Carolina semis

Andy Roddick rifled his ninth ace to set up a match point and finished it off with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Juan Monaco as the American continued to lift his game at the Winston-Salem Open.



Top seed Roddick is making up for a lost summer, the majority of which he sat out with a post-Wimbledon abdominal muscle strain. "I wanted to get off in two sets, I didn't feel the heat to be honest," said Roddick of yesterday's quarter-final match.
