FOX Sports: Roddick into quarters as Berdych retires

Andy Roddick reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals thanks to another abbreviated work day.

Roddick was leading 7-6 (6), 2-0 in the fourth round when Berdych quit, making him 0-9 against top-10 opponents at Grand Slam tournaments. Roddick got through the second round when Jose Acasuso stopped because of a bad knee while trailing two sets to one.
