Australian Open 2011: Can Andy Roddick Finally Break Through?

Australian Open 2011: Can Andy Roddick Finally Break Through?

Andy Roddick advanced to the third round today after beating Igor Kunitsyn 7-6 (7), 6-2, 6-3. It was the ninth straight time Roddick has gotten to the third round.

"I think when you're confident, the court just makes sense; decisions come easier to you," Roddick said to the media. "A lot of it comes naturally. There's not a whole lot of thought process. You're not forcing a lot. The ball kind of, I guess, reacts the way you want it to. So I feel comfortable out there right now."

Roddick has had a lot of good runs at grand slams but he's never really been able to seal the deal late in tournaments. It's really been the story of Roddick's career and that's a shame. He's a talented player, but things never really came together for him and with players like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, he just could never get by them.

I think Roddick will have a good run, but he won't have that championship moment.
