Vardan Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 In a second round affair, American and last year’s runner-up Andy Roddick ousted Daniele Bracciali from Italy, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7(3), 4-6, 6-3. The match had been suspended yesterday because of darkness with Roddick leading two sets to one. Late in the fourth set, Bracciali was able to break Roddick’s serve and hold on to his own to close the set. In the fifth and deciding set Roddick, who hit 23 aces throughout the match, broke Bracciali’s serve at 3-2 and with an amazing diving volley at 4-2 (15-30) was able to hold serve and advance to the third round. Next, Roddick faces Russia's Igor Andreev for a spot in the Round of 16. No. 21 Seed Fernando Gonzalez also guaranteed a career-best fourth round appearance by defeating No. 11 seed Joachim Johansson 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. The clay court specialist stunned Johansson, breaking the Swede’s serve in 4-of-13 opportunities and never losing his serve. Johansson, who hit 23 aces against Rusedski in the previous round, was able to hit only nine aces in today’s match. Gonzalez will next play the winner of No. 31 seed Mikhail Youzhny and Jonas Bjorkman. Croatian Mario Ancic also advanced to the Round of 16 with an easy win over last year’s Junior Wimbledon Champion Gael Monfils, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. The No. 10 seed Ancic dominated the entire match, hitting nine aces, 23 winners and breaking Monfils’ serve in 5-of-9 opportunities. Last year’s semifinalist now faces Spaniard Feliciano Lopez.
