Former World Number 1 Andy Roddick booked his place in the Semi Finals of the ATP Event in Brisbane after sealing a straight sets victory against Richard Gasquet of France. Roddick cruised through the 1st set 6-3 however the 2nd set was a much tighter affair as Gasquet took it to a tiebreaker, Roddick however held his nerve and sealed a 6-3 7-6 victory. Gasquet and Roddick last played in the Quarter Finals of Wimbledon in 2007 and on that occasion Gasquet came back from 2 sets and a break down to beat Roddick and reach the Wimbledon Semi Final for the 1st time in his career. Roddick himself was in superb form last year the American reached the Wimbledon final before narrowly losing out to World Number 1 Roger Federer 16-14 in the 5th set. Roddick will be hoping he can carry his great form this week to the Australian Open the American is a 4 time Semi Finalist at Melbourne Park.
