Roddick vs. Benneteau

In the Fourth Round of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, Andy will face Frenchman Julien Benneteau. The two have played three times before, Andy with a slight edge over Benneteau 2-1.

“I think we played three times as pros. Yeah, three times, and I think I lost the last time. We’re similar in age, so I’ve seen him since juniors,” Andy is familiar with the Frenchman’s game.

Benneteau defeated Schuettler, Karlovic and Tsonga to set up this evening’s Fourth Round match. Andy will take Stadium Court later this evening, not before 9:00 PM.
