Clearly, this was a much happier birthday for Andy Roddick.
A year after bowing out in the U.S. Open’s first round on the day he turned 23, Roddick celebrated turning 24 on Wednesday by reaching the tournament’s third round.
The 2003 U.S. Open champion, seeded ninth this time, beat Kristian Pless of Denmark 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-3. It was the day’s only second-round match.
