First round folks. Remember the days when this would have been a final at an event such as Memphis? The passing of years can seem so cruel in a sport like tennis.
Last night though these old friends turned the clock back and dazzled the crowd in Memphis with a thriller as Andy edged past James, 63 46 76(3).
Andy summed up the match like this, "We've played so many times, and he's beaten me, that there's going to be a sense of belief that most guys ranked 60th in the world probably aren't going to have as much as he has against me."
Defending champion Roddick will face Yen-Hsun Lu in the 2nd round today.
