Wimbledon: Andy Roddick hasn't played yet, but he's won

Roddick_300 Fifth-seeded and 2009 Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick is waiting for someone to win the match between seventh-seeded Nikolay Davydenko of Russia and South African Kevin Anderson before he starts his first-round Wimbledon match against fellow American Rajeev Ram, but Roddick's draw is looking a little more open.

Two big-hitting and dangerous Croatians, 11th-seeded Marin Cilic and 17th-seeded and defending Indian Wells champion Ivan Ljubicic (where Ljubicic beat Roddick in the finals) were both early losers Monday. Roddick might have played one of them in the fourth round.

Cilic lost to German Florian Mayer 6-2, 6-4, 6-1, and Ljubicic was knocked around, and out, by Poland's Michal Przysiezny 7-5, 7-6 (5), 6-3. 

American Mardy Fish, who lives in Beverly Hills now, did advance with a 6-3, 7-6 (8), 6-2 win over Austria's Bernard Tomic
