Andy Roddick stunned the tennis world by announcing that the U.S. Open would be his last tournament on Thursday but there was no sign of the end of the road for his contemporaries Roger Federer and Serena Williams on day four at Flushing Meadows. Federer led the tributes for Roddick after defeating Bjorn Phau with an evening exhibition to reach the third round of the men's draw, while Serena added her own plaudits after remaining on course for a fourth U.S. Open crown with a victory over Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez.
