Unbroken, Roddick Goes to Final

The US is headed to the Davis Cup finals thanks to Andy Roddick’s victory today. He beat Sweden’s Jonas Bjorkman 6-2, 7-6 (3), 6-4, sending the US back home to host the final for the first time in more than a decade. The US will face defending champion Russia for the title, Sports Illustrated reports. Russia defeated Germany in the other semifinal in Moscow.

"If you would have told me I could get through three sets with Jonas without getting broken I would have questioned your sanity a little bit," said Roddick, whose win ended a three-match losing streak against the Swedes at the Scandinavium. For his part, Bjorkman praised Roddick’s game, but added that “the lady in the chair was way too nice to him.” (More Davis Cup stories.)
