Roddick advances to finals of Nasdaq-100

Andy Roddick advanced to the final of the Nasdaq-100 Open for the first time Friday, playing nearly flawless tennis to beat Vince Spadea 6-1, 6-3.

Roddick took the first set in just 21 minutes and won seven consecutive games against Spadea, whose normally steady game unraveled in his first Key Biscayne semifinal.

Roddick's opponent Sunday will be third-seeded Guillermo Coria, who overcame four match points to beat Fernando Gonzalez in an all-South American semifinal, 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1.

Serena Williams will play for the women's championship Saturday in her first tournament following an eight-month layoff. The two-time defending champion faces fifth-seeded Elena Dementieva, who seeks a sweep of the Williams sisters after upsetting Venus in the quarterfinals.

The unseeded Spadea had been on a run over the past month that included his first tournament title at age 29, but he struggled from the start against Roddick.

The second-seeded Roddick came out firing with an ace and two service winners to take the opening game at love. Along with big serves, he kept Spadea on the defensive by consistently pounding deep groundstrokes while committing just 11 unforced errors.

Roddick, who leads the ATP Tour in victories this year, improved to 25-5 and avenged a defeat last month against Spadea at Scottsdale, Ariz.

Spadea lost his second service game with four consecutive unforced errors to fall behind 3-1, and when Roddick erased two break points to take the next game, he was in front to stay.

Four unforced errors and a double fault cost Spadea another service game to start the second set. The rout left the crowd mostly subdued, but midway through the second set, a fan shouted, "Hide the children!"

Spadea sailed a backhand long to reach match point, then slammed his racket to the concrete, but the fit didn't help. Roddick closed out the win on the next point, and Spadea sent the racket skidding across the court.

The next challenge for Roddick will be Coria. Roddick is 2-0 against the Argentine and won their most recent meeting in the season-ending Tennis Masters Cup in Houston last November.

"I'm still pretty hot about my loss," Coria said. "I would like to have revenge. ... I'm going to fight hard every point. Roddick is going to have to earn it."

Coria won his semifinal match despite trailing Gonzalez 5-3 in the second set and 6-4 in the tiebreaker.

"I never give up," Coria said. "The match is never over until I shake hands with the opponent."

Fans chanted, sang and waved their country's flag during the match between Coria and Chile's Gonzalez, seeded 21st. But the mood turned tense with Gonzalez on the verge of victory when his strokes went haywire.

Holding two match points serving for the victory at 5-4 in the second set, Gonzalez double-faulted and hit a forehand into the net.

That marked the start of Coria's comeback, as Gonzalez's shots became more and more tentative. The Chilean conceded that nerves got the best of him.

"This is the first time that this happened to me in an important tournament like this one," he said. "I'm very disappointed. Everybody's nervous, but you have to play good when you are nervous. I tried to."

Part of the drama surrounding the women's final involves what the top-seeded Williams will wear. She generated a buzz with the apparel she has unveiled at Key Biscayne: a white and silver corset dress, and a revealing fitted tank top and hot pants.

Williams wore the latter outfit against Jill Craybas.

"You've got to have confidence to do it," Craybas said. "She definitely has the confidence to do it. But, you know, good on her if she has the guts to wear it. You won't find me in that."

Williams' self-assurance extends to her game, and at Key Biscayne she's been the same intimidating presence as before her hiatus. Her shots in the semifinal had Eleni Daniilidou dodging out of the way at least twice.

"I always expect the best of myself," Williams said. "I wanted to have a still-strong presence. I think that's really good."
