Old friends Grosjean and Roddick fight for spot in semis

ANDY RODDICK and Sebastien Grosjean will put their friendship on hold when they meet for a place in the men’s singles semi-finals today.

American Roddick, last year’s beaten finalist, is a regular practice partner of the Florida-based Frenchman and is looking forward to their eighth meeting in the last three years.

“We practise together a lot on the road,” he said. “We’re pretty friendly. He’s been a pretty good friend since I’ve been on tour. We normally practise at tournaments.”
