Andy Roddick and Tomas Berdych go toe-to-toe in today's final in Miami, available on Betfair Live Video.
Andy Roddick is clearly in super form on the American hardcourts he knows so well and loves so much and has made a second consecutive final in Masters events. He'll be wanting to go one better this time after falling at the last hurdle at Indian Wells. The man who beat him that day was Ivan Ljubicic, who was matched at a high of [600.0] on Betfair at the start of the tournament.
There will be no repeat final with the big-serving Croat knocked out in the early rounds but the man Roddick will be facing this afternoon was also a big outsider at the start of the tournament. Step forward Tomas Berdych - the highly-talented yet notoriously flakey Czech who was matched at odds of [140.0] at the start and is trading at [2.62] to win today's final.
Berdych certainly can't be accused of having had an easy route to the final and beat, amongst others, world number one Roger Federer and the ever-improving Robin Soderling. Andy Roddick's greater experience, pedigree and the fact he's on home soil explain why he goes into today's match as the favourite but after Ljubicic's heroics a couple of weeks ago, no-one would be too surprised if the likeable American falls just short once again.
