It was nothing more than a win for Andy Roddick, but an important win in the second round of Wimbledon. A year ago, Roddick was waving goodbye to the All England Club in the second round after Janko Tipsarevic took him down in four sets.
Thursday in London, Roddick was the one on the winning end, beating Igor Kunitsyn 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 for his 100th career win in a grand slam event. Roddick, who has continued to focus on fitness and endurance over strength, threw a lot of backhand slices at Kunitsyn, who only seemed to find his groove for a moment in the fourth set when he broke Andy, but Roddick continued to ride his big serve to 18 aces.
