Tennis News :: Wimbledon: Andy Roddick's serve wins Round 1 match

Posted on 2008-06-24 by Gooner

Andy Roddick came through three tough first-round sets to beat Wimbledon debutant Eduardo Schwank of Argentina, 7-5, 6-4, 7-6.

Schwank often matched Roddick from the back of the court in only his third outing on grass but was unable to trouble the American's ever-strong service game.

Roddick, the No 6 seed, called upon his eight years of Wimbledon experience, in which he was twice a losing finalist, to break serve late to take the opening two sets. He then wrapped up the third-set tie-break 7-0.

Roddick now faces Janko Tipsarevic in the next round. The Serb beat Thierry Ascione of France, 7-6, 6-4, 6-2.

Roddick reached the quarter-finals last year.
