Roddick blasts fiery Rusedski

US fifth seed Andy Roddick won a bad-tempered centre court showdown with Britain’s former US Open finalist Greg Rusedski to reach the third round of the men’s singles at Wimbledon yesterday.

The match swung Roddick's in a 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/1), 7-5 win in 2hr 4min when Rusedski lost his cool in the ninth game of the third set when a spectator called a Roddick return out.

In fact the shot was good, the American won the point and Rusedski launched a tirade in the direction of umpire Lars Graff's chair.
