Roddick Loses Cool, Match
Agencies

Andy Roddick lost his temper – and his third-round match in the Pacific Life Open. Roger Federer, meanwhile, was as cool as usual.
Roddick broke at least two rackets, hit a ball out of the crowded stadium and threw several small temper tantrums Sunday in a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Tommy Haas.
Later, the top-ranked Federer, weakened by mononucleosis and coming off consecutive losses in tour matches, began his bid for a fourth Indian Wells title with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.
Roddick's third-round loss, only his third loss in 18 matches this year, marked his earliest exit from the ATP Tour event and followed tournament titles at San Jose and Dubai and a quarterfinal effort at Memphis.
Second-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova advanced after a battling 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 win over Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova.
Women's title-holder Daniela Hantuchova won her match in straight sets.
Maria Sharapova maintained her perfect start to the year by sweeping past Eleni Daniilidou of Greece 7-5, 6-3.
Sharapova next faces Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko, ranked 24th in the world. Bondarenko defeated former world number one Amelie Mauresmo 6-1, 6-2.
Slovakian Hantuchova, a double champion at Indian Wells, breezed through against China's Zheng Jie 6-4, 6-2 in a late match. World number three Kuznetsova, who lost to Hantuchova in last year's final, was relieved to book her place in the fourth round of the women's draw at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
“I just stopped a little bit and lost my concentration,” the Russian told reporters of her slump midway through the match. “I have to figure out how to start playing better after being 5-0 down in the second set.”
Kuznetsova, a runner-up this year in Sydney and Dubai, raised her game in the third set to set up a meeting with Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki in the next round. The 17-year-old Dane, who won the 2006 Wimbledon junior title, brushed aside Aiko Nakamura of Japan 6-0, 6-2 in 53 minutes.
There were two upsets in the women's event, American Ashley Harkleroad beating eighth-seeded Dinara Safina of Russia 7-5, 6-2 and India's Sania Mirza scraping past ninth seed Shahar Peer of Israel 6-7, 7-5, 6-3.
In the men's draw, Haas swept aside 2003 US Open champion Roddick, a winner of two ATP titles this year, in 85 minutes on the Stadium Court.
“Today was one of the matches where I won the majority of the important points,” said Haas, a former world number two whose career has been hampered by a series of injuries and surgeries. “When I broke him a couple times today, I really played some great points, backhand and forehand passing shots and forehand lobs. And that was really the only difference.”
The 29-year-old will next meet 30th-seeded Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, who beat Victor Hanescu of Romania 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.
In other men's matches, fourth-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko defeated American wildcard American John Isner 6-2, 7-6 and 12th-seeded Fernando Gonzalez of Chile was upset 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 by Croatian wildcard Mario Ancic.Martin beats McEnroe
John McEnroe is still looking for his first Champions Series title.
Todd Martin beat McEnroe 6-3, 6-1 Sunday to win The Oliver Group Champions Cup for his third career Champions Series victory. The 37-year-old Martin earned $50,000 for the victory while the 49-year
