Federer sets up Roddick clash

Bizarre incident can't stop Swiss progressing in Miami



Roger Federer will play Andy Roddick in the third round of the Sony Ericsson Open after opening his campaign with a straight-sets win.

The Swiss third seed raced through the opening set, breaking twice and not facing a single break point. When he soon moved a break up in the second set the match looked poised for a swift conclusion but a bizarre game whenFederer served for the match let Harrison back in.First Federer missed an overhead to fall into trouble and then when he was two break points down at 15-40 he literally stopped playing after hearing what he felt was a line call.The umpire ruled no such call had been made and Harrison had the break back.However, Federer refocused when the set reached a tie-break to set up his meeting with old rival Roddick.

Looking forward to his clash with Roddick, Federer, who feels the courts are playing slightly faster than in Indian Wells and has subsequently raised his racquet tension, added: "It's unusual to see him so early in the tournament but I'm sure it's going to be a great match." - http://www1.skysports.com
