Roddick is raring to go this week after a strong performance in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago. The 2003 US Open champion may be only seeded ninth this year but he still poses a serious threat to the world's best. In Cincinnati he took out Robin Soderling and Novak Djokovic and should have beaten Mardy Fish to reach he final.

He will be confident of improving on a disappointing third round loss to John Isner last year. This time, Gael Monfils and Nikolay Davydenko are the main obstacles blocking his path to the last eight.

Robert's unorthodox game is not best suited to the pacy hard courts and he has had little success in the States this year, getting outplayed 6-2, 6-1 by Donald Young in New Haven last week. He has cracked the top 100 in the past year but twelve months ago he opted to miss US Open qualifying in favour of clay challengers which says a lot about his chances today.
