In the third round of the Australian Open, the year's first Grand Slam, both Andy Roddick and Roger Federer advanced. But not in the same way. Federer cruised, as usual, to a straight sets win over Russian Mikhail Youzhny, while A-Rod struggled and battled against another Russian, Marat Safin.
Roddick won the match in four sets, including two tiebreakers, to give himself a birth in the round of 16. The big hitters had several brilliant rallies, but it was Roddick, and not Safin, who capitalized during big moments, including both tiebreakers.
