Andy Roddick [Images] barely put a foot wrong as he darted into the final of the grasscourt championships at Queen's Club with a 6-4, 7-5 win over Russian Dmitry Tursunov on Saturday. The American second seed will be seeking his fourth title here in five years after setting up a final showdown with the winner of the all-French duel between Nicolas Mahut and Arnaud Clement.
After torrential downpours over west London [Images] delayed the start by three hours, Roddick made up for lost time by breaking in the ninth game to love and sealed the set when Tursunov floated a forehand long.
The Russian kept pace with Roddick till 5-5 in the second set and went on to use up all three of his HawkEye challenges, bowing out after 71 minutes with the American unleashing an unreturnable serve on match point.
