Roddick beats Djokovic

It was a very hot day, so hot that some players could not fight long enough, yesterday it was Azarenka(vs Serena Williams) today was a bad day for Novak Djokovic, the world number 3 was unable to continue :

The main reason was cramping and soreness in the whole body," Djokovic said, taking the defeat as well as he could. "I think the people could see that I was struggling with movement. I couldn't serve the way I served in the first two sets.

"He saw that longer rallies are not comfortable for me at that point, so he was using it wisely. Really unfortunate way to end up my Australian Open 2009 here in this way. Really tried my best, but sometimes you can't fight against your own body."

He was two sets to one down against Andy Roddick in their quarterfinal, and with the score standing at 6-7(3) 6-4 6-2 2-1 in the American's favour, Djokovic ground to a halt.

So Roddick qualified to semi-finals will now face Roger Federer which is his best shape since US Open.
