OSTRAVA, Czech Republic: Andy Roddick beat Tomas Berdych 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (4) Sunday to give the United States an insurmountable 3-1 lead over the Czech Republic and a place in the Davis Cup quarterfinals.

Roddick moved to an undefeated 8-0 in Davis Cup matches with victory on the line. The United States will play Spain on hardcourts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in April’s quarterfinals.

It will be a rematch of the 2004 final in Seville, when the Spanish hosts beat the Americans on clay.

With an overpowering serve and a solid baseline game, the fourth-ranked Roddick mastered the dreaded slow clay, the partisan crowd, and one of the rising stars of the game.

“We saw today why Andy Roddick is the fourth best player in the world,” Czech coach Jaroslav Navratil said.
