Australian Open Round 2 Preview

In the second Round in Oz, Andy will face Germany’s Michael Berrer under the lights on Rod Laver Arena Wednesday Night.

Berrer defeated Donald Young to reach the second round 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 7-6. The two have never played before but facing the unknown will certainly not intimidate Andy. He has been very vocal this past week about his tenacious attitude heading into 2008. “I’m still young and hungry at 25,” Roddick admitted following his Kooyong victory.
