(1) Andy Roddick def. Leonardo Mayer 6-3, 6-2
Three-time SAP Open champion and top seed Andy Roddick had little trouble defeating Leonardo Mayer Thursday evening. The world No. 7 surrendered just six points on serve to down the Argentine 6-3, 6-2 in 74 minutes.
Roddick earned a service break at 4-3 in the opening set, as Mayer struck an errant forehand. An unreturnable serve sealed the 6-3 set for the American in 36 minutes. After missing three break point chances early in set two, a double-fault from Mayer gave Roddick a 2-1 advantage. An insurance break came for the 27-year-old at 3-1, following a forehand miss from the Argentine. Roddick capped off the victory with his seventh ace of the match.
Roddick moves ahead to take on fifth seed Tomas Berdych for a place in the semifinal. The Czech dismissed second-round opponent Jarkko Nieminen on Wednesday, 6-3, 6-2.
(7) Sam Querrey def. Taylor Dent 6-4, 6-4
Seventh seed Sam Querrey reached the last eight after besting compatriot Taylor Dent in straight sets. The 22-year-old fired 10 aces and saved four of four break points to post a 67-minute win, 6-4, 6-4.
Querrey took a break lead at 4-4 in the first set, following a netted backhand volley from Dent. The seventh seed, who captured 19 of 26 points on first serve, closed the set at the 32-minute mark. Querrey broke through in the seventh game of set two, capitalizing on another volley mistake from Dent. Dent had a chance to recover the break at 4-5, but failed to convert. A heavy forehand forced the elder American into an error on match point.
