Roddick slays giant-killer in Miami final

Sixth-seeded American Andy Roddick ended the giant-killing run of Czech Tomas Berdych to secure the Miami ATP Masters 1000 title yesterday.

One break of serve in each set was enough for Roddick, who didn't face a break point in the entire match which he won 7-5, 6-4.

"It's a surprising stat, especially on one side," Roddick said. "It was real rough with the sun on first serves you're having to adjust your toss and seeing spots on the first ball.

"I think that's what helped me break in the first set, you know, but I think it was maybe a little bit of an advantage that I played out there in that time slot a couple times."
