Nadal Survives a Close First Round at the 2008 Beijing Olympics
Newly Minted World Number One and one of Spain’s finest hopefuls in the 2008 Beijing Olympics struggled a little en route to a three set win over Italy’s Potito Starace 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 to advance in the tennis competition.
"Yeah, I taste a little bit of Roddick's tears on this trophy. Mmm mmm!"
On the homefront, Andy Roddick was upset at the Los Angeles Countrywide Classic finals to teen phenom Juan Del Potro of Argentina 6-1, 7-6 (2). It was Del Potro’s third title in less than a month. Obviously this casts a shadow of doubt into Roddick’s chances at repeating his 2003 US Open championship which begins later this month.
Switzerland’s Roger Federer is expected to take the court later today.

If Roddick ever wins another grand slam it would be nothing short of a miracle.
