体坛英语资讯：Roddick through but no such luck for Ferrer

BEIJING, Sept. 26 -- Andy Roddick overcame a Davis Cup hangover and jet lag to reach the quarterfinals of the China Open Thursday. Spain's David Ferrer wasn't as fortunate.

Despite falling behind early, the second-seeded Roddick defeated fellow American Brendan Evans 6-4, 6-3.

Seeded No. 1, Ferrer was never in his second-round match, falling 6-3, 6-3 to Dudi Sela of Israel, who is No. 92 in the ATP rankings behind the Spaniard.

No. 3 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile escaped with a scare. The defending champion and Olympic silver medalist last month in Beijing rallied to beat Go Soeda of Japan 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-1, while No. 4 Richard Gasquet of France had fewer problems in beating Lu Yen-hsun of Chinese Taipei 7-5, 6-1.

Both Roddick and Ferrer had byes in the first round and some extra days off following Spain's emotional Davis Cup semifinal victory last weekend over the United States in Madrid. But it was Roddick who was ready to rebound despite falling behind early against Evans. "From 2-4 down in the first set I started feeling a little better," Roddick said. "It's a little tough going from clay last weekend in Spain to dealing with the jet lag and what not."
