Andy Roddick's 17 Aces Blasts Igor Kunitsyn, Advances to Third Round

Filed under: Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- When the Australian Open ends, the spotlight on Andy Roddick is likely to shift to another family member-the one who gets paid to wear swimsuits and is about to make her big screen debut.

Roddick's 23-year-old wife, Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Brooklyn Decker, is costarring in her first feature film alongside actors Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.

After winning his second-round match, Roddick offered a sneak preview into the film, "Just Go With It," which is due to be released next month in America.

"She's in some sort of love triangle with people named Sandler and Aniston. She had to make out with one of them," Roddick deadpanned in a courtside interview after beating Igor Kunitsyn of Russia 7-6 (7), 6-2, 6-3 on Wednesday.

"So, we're excited about it," Roddick said. "Not the making out with Sandler part."

For now, the applause is reserved for Roddick, who saved two set points in the first set tiebreaker and served out the match with back-to-back aces. The big-serving American fired a total of 17 aces in the match against his 99th-ranked opponent.
