Players Report:

On Thursday, American No.1 star player Andy Roddick is ready to fight against Jurgen Melzer in the  BNP Paribas Open 2010 match at Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

He is the top-ranked American player and the only male American inside the top 10. He became a Grand Slam singles champion when he won the title at the 2003 US Open. Roddick has reached four other Grand Slam finals with Wimbledon three times and the US Open once, losing to Roger Federer each time. He and Federer are the only players to have been ranked in the Association of Tennis Professionals top 10 at year-end from 2002 through 2009. Roddick is known for his powerful serves and holds the fastest serve recorded in professional tennis, measured at 155 mph (249.5 km/h).

At the Tennis Masters Cup in Houston he defeated world # 7 Carlos Moya of Spain, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, and world # 4 Guillermo Coria of Argentina, 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-3, before losing to Federer in the semifinals. By the end of the year, at age 21, he was ranked # 1, the first American to finish a year at # 1 since Andre Agassi in 1999. He also became the youngest American to hold this rank since computer rankings were started in 1973.

Roddick entered the 2010 Australian Open as the seventh seed. He defeated Thiemo de Bakker, Thomaz Bellucci and Feliciano Lopez, and then defeated world #11 Fernando Gonzalez 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 to reach his sixth career Australian Open quarterfinal and raise his career record against Gonzalez to 9-3. In the quarterfinals he faced world #14 Marin Cilic, and despite coming back from two sets down while battling an apparent shoulder injury, Roddick lost 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 3-6 2-6 6-3.
