Roddick will catch a big break if he can get his match in today (assuming he wins of course). Andre can't go two matches (Sun then Monday) with that back. Just awful break for him. I'll be stunned if he loses to Becker now, but can't like his chances on Monday.
just a side note--Andre has been gettign periodic injections on his back over the last 4 yrs (going off memory here, I believe he has had 5 cortisone shots during this period), hence the back issues are not 'new'-- but NEVER in/during a tournament, like he had this week. He had a cortisone shot after the Pavel match, he couldn't even stand,lol. Then an anti-inflammatory injection after the Marcos match. Obvioeuly, if this wasn't The US Open he would have pulled out. He's gogin to give it all he can.
