Roddick beats Stepanek at Queen’s Club

Andy Roddick lost only four points on his serve Tuesday, beating Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the third round of the Queen’s Club grass-court championships.

The American has lost just one match in his past four appearances at the Wimbledon warmup event, winning three straight titles before losing to James Blake in the 2006 semifinals.

“That felt really good out there today,” Roddick said. “Looking at the draw, there’s probably him and Ivo Karlovic as the two guys you don’t want to see in the first round.”

Roddick served 12 aces and converted his only break-point opportunity in the opening set to lead 4-3 after a backhand error by Stepanek.
