Andy Roddick(Above) overcame a shaky start and beat Lleyton Hewitt 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Friday night to advance to the semifinals of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships.
The top-seeded Roddick needed 2 hours, 13 minutes to win his sixth straight match against the Australian and leads their all-time series 7-6. Roddick improved to 10-2 this year as he looks for his 30th career title and third in Memphis. He will play Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, who beat American Michael Russell 6-4, 6-2.
"He was playing better early on," Roddick said of Hewitt. "I haven't gotten off to the best starts in two out of three of my matches. I'm going to have to start playing better from the get-go. But a match can turn quickly, and it did tonight in the third set. The end of the second set and the third set was probably the best I've played in this tournament so far."
