Relentless Roddick rockets on in style

Andy Roddick survived a third-round clash with Austria’s Jurgen Melzer, and also a grilling from Jim Courier, in the Australian Open today.

Roddick, facing his third left-hander in a row after victories over Irakli Labadze and Britain’s Greg Rusedski, raced to a 6-2 6-2 7-5 win, the highlight of which was a forehand winner played between his legs as he chased down a lob.
