Roddick Through to Quarters After Fish Injury

Defending champion Andy Roddick moved through to the quarterfinals of The Artois Championships in unfortunate circumstances after his good friend Mardy Fish was forced to retire at the end of the first set.

In what was a high-quality encounter on Centre Court, Roddick took the opening set in a tie-break before Fish called for the trainer after injuring his left ankle. Despite treatment during a medical timeout, he was unable to continue.
