Rain Delay, Andy to Take On Dancevic Wednesday

Note: Due to bad light and no improvement with the weather, play was called off for the day at 6.30 BST. Andy Roddick, who was scheduled third on Centre Court, was unable to start his match, so will play on Wednesday. Stay tuned to AR.com for a revised order of play!

After receiving a bye in the first round of the Stella Artois-Queen’s Club tournament in London, Andy will be facing qualifier Frank Dancevic of Canada in the second round.

Dancevic defeated Kenneth Carlsen of Denmark in three sets on Monday, 4-6,6-3,6-3, to advance into the second round. The 21-year-old, who is currently ranked 127 in the world, turned pro in 2003 and will be facing a top ten player tomorrow for the first time. Here are the stats on Dancevic:

Birthdate: 26-Sep-84

Birthplace: Niagara Falls, Canada

Residence: Niagara Falls, Canada

Height: 6’1’’ (185 cm)

Weight: 175 lbs (79 kg)

Plays: Right-handed

Andy’s got an inch and a few pounds over Dancevic, but the biggest advantage is the total of 20 titles, including a Grand Slam, Andy has under his belt. Grass is Andy’s favorite surface with many successful years on it, and he’s back to defend his title. In this match-up, experience is on Andy’s side. Stay tuned for the match time and latest from London!
