Australian Open 2009 Round Two Results: Andy Roddick Fights Way Past Determined Xavier Malisse

Andy Roddick found his second round matchup at the Australian Open decidedly different than his first round test as he needed four tough sets to get past Belgium’s Xavier Malisse 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7-1), 6-2 at tennis’ first Grand Slam event of the year.

Roddick had to weather the storm of the first set but managed to remain calm and continue to play his game as he pounded out an impressive 19 aces and won 83 percent of his first serves. The American limited his unforced errors to 27 while taking advantage of the 50 committed by Malisse.

Roddick has one Grand Slam singles title to his credit, a 2003 win at the U.S. Open. He has reached the semi-finals at the Australian Open on three occasions but fell in each of those matches. The American has also appeared in a pair of Wimbledon finals but lost to Roger Federer both times.
