Roddick plays his DC-matches with huge spirit and homecrowd behind him makes the things even better (DC-matches 13-2 at home). The surface is fast indoorhard what makes Roddick more than hard to break. Llodra has taken three straight losses at America so far and that makes him to look weak. At start he supposedly had problems with his back and later two slower surfaces where his serve couldn't give it's best. Before that Llodra was taken a huge step up what came to his game. His accurate and versatile serve was hard for everybody and his doublegame skills mixed to developed single-skills made his indoors record 8-1 so far this season. I trust Llodra's game is still there but wasn't suited for slower surfaces well enough. Roddick isn't either the best servereturner and the match probably offers many tiebreaks. Roddick has done well in tiebreaks and there's no doubt who's the favourite to the match but with higher chance for tiebreaks which are almost compared to lottery it makes me think over six odds for Llodra are generous.
