Andy Roddick upset world number one Roger Federer 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 at the Sony Ericsson Open quarter-final on Thursday. It was only Roddick's second win in 17 career meetings against the Swiss.
Despite not forcing a break point until the eighth game of the third set, it was enough for Roddick, who lost to love when Federer deserted a forehand into the net. The immense striking American enclosed victory on his third match point with a blistering winning service.
Twelve-times Grand Slam winner Federer has yet to reach a final this year. Roddick will play world number four Nikolay Davydenko in the semi-finals after the Russian's absolute 6-2, 6-1 win over Serbian Janko Tipsarevic.
