Tennis: Henman out to get Roddick

Tim Henman insists he is ready to upset the odds against in-form Andy Roddick in the first round of the US Open tomorrow.

The British number one is unseeded for the Grand Slam event at Flushing Meadow, New York while Roddick - winner of the last two Masters Series events in Montreal and Cincinnati - is seeded fourth.

However, Henman may hold the psychological advantage after beating the American over three sets in the Legg Mason Classic in Washington DC last month, a tournament the Briton went on to win.

Timmy might be the only player to beat Andy on hardcourts this year...but i doubt that Andy is just going to let Tim win. Andy is the odds on favorite to win this years open. And with Brad Gilbert this should be a good first round match up.

I cant see henman beating roddick the way roddick has been playing but you never know in sport anyone can win on their day...

Timmy has a chance to upset Roddick but i just dont see that happening.
