Roddick enjoying feelgood factor

It took just one break of serve for Andy Roddick to feel he was on his way to victory as he steamrollered his first US Open opponent to erase the painful memory of last year’s shock first-round exit.

The American number nine seed and 2003 champion began what he hopes will be a long run with a 6-2 6-1 6-3 win over Frenchman Florent Serra.
