Federer vs Roddick headlines Australian Open Day 11
Pick your posion – poise vs power, finesse vs athleticism. It’s Federer vs Roddick.
The first true heavyweight battle of Australian Open 2007 will dominate proceedings on Rod Laver Arena on Day 11.
Roger Federer and Andy Roddick are the two biggest names in tennis, particularly in the men’s game and their clash at Melbourne Park, whenever that was likely to be, 
was always going to be a ‘must-win’ affair.
This one certainly will be. Federer remains all-conquering on any surface other than clay, but just enough has happened in the last few months to suggest this match could go either way.

The first has been Roddick’s move to install tennis great Jimmy Connors as coach. Roddick is a brasher, more attacking player under Connors (no surprises there) and while Federer boasts a 12-1 career record over Roddick, the gap between the pair has tightened in the last six months with Roddick taking Federer to four sets at the US Open, holding match points against him at the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai in November and beating him at the AAMI Classic exhibition at Kooyong a fortnight ago.
Federer and Roddick will butt heads under lights. The day session belongs to the women’s semifinals with Serena Williams and Nicole Vaidisova featuring in the opening match. Vaidisova made the semifinals at Roland Garros last year, but comes across seven-time slam winner Williams who has become the story of the Open.
