LONDON (AP) - Andy Roddick benefited from the replay system at Queen's Club on Thursday, then held on to beat Alex Bogdanovic of Britain 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4 in the third round of the Wimbledon warmup tournament.
Roddick, who had 22 aces, was tied at 5-5 in the tiebreaker when he challenged a call. The decision was overturned, giving the American a set point and taking away a match point for his 117th-ranked opponent.
"I've been a big supporter of Hawk-Eye and today is the reason why," Roddick said of the device used for replay challenges. "There's a big difference between being down match point and up set point. Needless to say, I would have been a little perturbed if they'd have got that one wrong."
