9 Andy Roddick (above) vs WC Mardy Fish - H2H: 9-2
Mardy won their last match just a month ago in Atlanta.
Re-match: They played a great final here in '03 - Andy won in a 3rd set TB.
But this is decidedly a story of two very different Summers...
Since the French Mardy's W/L is 21-3 including 2 titles in 3 finals.
Andy's suffered from a 'mini-mono' & has gone 11-4 since the French.
A betting man might just go with Mardy in this one.
