Andy Roddick is still in upbeat mood going into the French Open despite his surprise defeat at the Poertschach International.

The American number one went down in straight sets in Vienna, 7-5 6-3, to highly-rated French youngster Gael Monfils.

The 24-year-old, who's best performance at Roland Garros is reaching the third round in 2001, still feels buoyant heading to Paris.
Speaking after his defeat in Austria, Roddick revealed: "I'm better than when I got here this week, feel I'm hitting the ball better so that's kind of what you want to get from a tournament."

Betfair punters have little confidence in Roddick's ability on clay, with the world number three currently trading at 350 to win the Grand Slam event and 38 to reach the final.

Those customers who feel a new winner will be crowned at Roland Garros in June, can back 'Yes' at 2.3 with 'No' on offer at 1.71.
