Beck wrecked by Roddick

Another day, another onslaught of results that we can't keep up with and names we can't spell or pronounce. Luckily, such is the nature of text, we don't need to be able to pronounce them, and the odd, sly copy-and-paste job from other unnamed websites means weight of the spelling problem is greatly eased.

Somewhat inevitably our man Dan Cox, the British No.3 lost in straight sets 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. No such trauma for America's Andy Roddick whose wrecking-ball forehand just completed a demolition job on Germany's Andrew Beck, beating him in straight sets 6-4, 7-6, 6-3, if somewhat unconvincingly.

Serena Williams' comeback is off to a winning start. She has been out for the best part of a year having stepped on glass in a restaurant almost a year ago. She left Wimbledon as champion and World No.1. She returned as World No.26 and seeded 7th to beat Aravane Rezai 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. Surely there's a Hollywood film in it if she can turn her emotional comeback into a remarkable defence of her title?
