SHANGHAI: Andy Roddick reached the second round of the Shanghai Masters after Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany retired ill Tuesday. Kohlschreiber stopped while trailing 6-3, 2-1 after missing an easy overhead, shanking a forehand wide, and double-faulting to drop his serve. Roddick, in and out of the top-10 rankings for the last two months, is looking to finish the year on a high and in the top 10 for a ninth consecutive season. He reached the Japan quarterfinals last week, his first tournament since an early exit at the US Open.
