Roddick rolling early, test Gasquet next

Andy Roddick has showed no signs of trouble with his left knee.

The 27-year-old American injured that knee back on October 13th in Shanghai, and after taken a few months to rest and rehab the former No. 1 seems fit and ready to go.

Roddick is playing in his first event of the year in Brisbane, and he's already posted a couple wins including a 76 63 victory over Australian Carsten Ball.

But Roddick now will have his hands full with talented Frenchman Richard Gasquet in the quarterfinals. It was Gasquet who beat Andy at Wimbledon a few years back.

Also in the quarterfinals, Tomas Berdych meets Thomasz Belluci, Gael Monfils meets James Blake and Radek Stepanek faces Wayne Odesnik.

By my count, that's three Americans in the quarterfinals! No Bad!
