FLUSHING, New York—Andy Roddick took care of business on Thursday, beating David Ferrer 6–3, 6–3, 4–6, 6–3 to advance to the quarterfinals of the US Open for the first time since 2008.
The match, which had been delayed due to rain since Tuesday, had more water drama, despite the bright sunshine at the start of the match.
“I looked down at one point and I saw like a little crack, and it had probably seven or eight nickel-sized water drops on it, but it looked too perfectly placed. It almost looked like someone almost poured a little bit of water out,” he said after the match.
