In-form Del Potro denies Roddick in LA

Argentinian teenager Juan Martin del Potro claimed a third consecutive title with a 6-1 7-6 (6/2) victory over world number nine Andy Roddick at the Countrywide Classic in Los Angeles.

World number 24 Del Potro had never won an ATP singles title until last month in Stuttgart, but followed that triumph with another the following weekend in Kitzbuhel.
