Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - Andy Roddick announced last week he would end his tennis career at the 2012 U.S. Open, and Juan Martin del Potro sent the American packing in a fourth-round affair Wednesday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Also on Wednesday, sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych ousted top-seeded Roger Federer, 7-6 (7-1), 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the quarterfinals. The seventh-seeded del Potro came from behind to beat the 20th-seeded Roddick 6-7 (1-7), 7-6 (7-4), 6-2, 6-4 at Arthur Ashe Stadium in a match that was suspended because of rain on Tuesday night. Roddick snuck out a first-set tiebreak against del Potro, but the towering Argentine rebounded by taking a second-set tiebreak, which appeared to take a lot of energy out of the outgoing American slugger. It was all del Potro in the third set and that momentum carried over into the fourth, as the Argentine ultimately cruised to victory at the worlds largest tennis stadium. The match was over in 3 hours, 15 minutes, as the big-serving Roddick swatted 20 aces in his final outing, but had his serve broken four times, compared to only one break by the American. The 23-year-old del Potro improved to 4-1 lifetime against Roddick. The former world No. 1 Roddick captured his lone Grand Slam title at the 2003 U.S. Open and was the 2006 runner-up to Roger Federer in New York. Roddick also succumbed to Federer in three Wimbledon finals, including their epic five-set battle at the All England Club in 2009, when the Swiss finally prevailed in a 30-game fifth set. The Nebraska native/Texas resident Roddick announced his impending retirement on the day of his 30th birthday last week. Roddick, who failed to reach a major quarterfinal this year, ends his career with 32 titles in 52 finals and is the second-winningest American in Davis Cup singles history, behind only the legendary John McEnroe. Prior to Wednesday, Roddick was second only to Federer among active players in career match wins, with 612. The crowd favorite Roddick went 43-12 in Flushing. "For the first time in my career Im not sure what to say," a tearful Roddick said on the court after falling to del Potro. "Ive loved every minute of it." "Its been a road with a lot of ups and a lot of downs," Roddick added. "I love you guys with all my heart." Roddick went on to thank his family, including his mom and dad, and his support team. The 6-foot-6 Del Potro stunned Federer in the final in Flushing three years ago, halting a 40-match U.S. Open win streak by the Swiss great. The 2009 U.S. Open champion del Potro is rewarded with a quarterfinal bout against reigning champion and two-time U.S. Open runner-up Novak Djokovic, who was an easy winner on Day 10 of the Big Apple fortnight. The second-seeded recent world No. 1 star Djokovic won his 11th straight match in Flushing with a 6-4, 6-1, 3-1 spanking of 18th-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka, who appeared ill and decided to retire in the third set. The match was suspended by rain Tuesday night, with the formidable Serb leading 2-0 in the first set. Rain also disrupted play on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Djokovic got past Wawrinka in 1 hour, 33 minutes. The five-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic captured his first U.S. Open title last year by handling former winner Rafael Nadal in a 1-versus-2 finale at the National Tennis Center. The Serb also stopped the Spaniard in this years epic Australian Open finale, while Nadal beat Djokovic in the French Open final in June. Third-seeded Andy Murray ousted Marin Cilic, the No. 12 seed, by a 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2, 6-0 margin. After dropping the first set, the 2012 Wimbledon runner-up fell behind 2-5 in the second stanza, but rallied back to capture the final five points of the set after taking the tie breaker 7-4. Murray, who was the runner-up at the U.S. Open in 2008, fired off 11 aces over the match, which lasted nearly three hours. The 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist will face Berdych in the semifinals on Friday. Berdych won 11 break points to take down the five-time U.S. Open titlist for the second consecutive matchup in a Grand Slam event. Berdych defeated Federer at Wimbledon in 2010 en route to his only Grand Slam final appearance to date. Federer, the world No. 1, was denied his 33rd career Grand Slam semifinals appearance in the loss, but still leads the head-to-head record 11-5. Also on Day 10 in New York, Djokovics eighth-seeded fellow Serb Janko Tipsarevic dismissed 19th-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-3, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 to reach the U.S. Open round of eight for a second straight year. Tipsarevic-Kohlschreiber was also suspended because of rain on Tuesday, with the Serb leading 5-2 in the opening set. Tipsarevic is rewarded with a quarterfinal match against fourth-seeded fellow grinder David Ferrer of Spain. Cheap NFL Jerseys China . Then he joined the Miami Heat, and things only got worse.

It ultimately wound up in the end zone, and that was just fine with the Chicago Bears. They got back to winning thanks to their defence, with Wright coming up with the biggest play. He returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown, and Chicago beat the St. Louis Rams 23-6 on Sunday. The defence came to the rescue against the Rams (1-2), holding them to 160 yards and sacking Bradford six times. That was enough on a day when Jay Cutler struggled, and the Bears (2-1) bounced back after an ugly loss to Green Bay the previous week. The Bears had just kicked a field goal to extend their lead to 13-6 in the fourth quarter before Wright made his key play. Bradford had been hit hard by Israel Idonije and Stephen Paea on the previous play when Tim Jennings deflected a slant intended for Amendola. Wright caught the ball at the 45 and ran untouched to the end zone, making it a 14-point game and finally giving the Bears some breathing room. "Sam Bradford was looking his way the whole time," Wright said. "As we were watching film, he is not the type of quarterback that is going to look one way and go back the other way. He was honing in on that side and I was like, You know what, let me take a shot over here, and I ended up taking a shot over there. ... (Jennings) tipped it up and me being in the right spot at the right time (I) took it in." It wasnt exactly the sort of showing the Bears were looking for after that brutal 23-10 loss to the Packers, but they got by because the defence did its part. For the offence, well, thats two bad outings in a row. "Some games, we are going to need to score 41," coach Lovie Smith said. "Other games, were not going to need to. Were going to have to play good, sound football and make the plays when its required, and it was that type of day." One positive note for the offence was Cutler appearing to keep his composure in this game. Considering he got sacked seven times, threw four interceptions and berated and bumped left tackle JMarcus Webb on the sideline, that was an improvement. Otherwise, there werent many positives for him. "Not every game is going to be 41-21," Cutler said, referring to the season-opening win over Indianapolis. "Were not going to come out every game and blow the doors off offensively and defensively. This is what is going to be more likely week in and week out." Cutler completed 17 of 31 passes for 183 yards. He was sacked twice and threw an interception to Cortland Finnegan, who also delivered a shot after the game. Asked what he saw from the Bears quarterback, he saiid, "Not much.dddddddddddd. Not much. I think he had 190 yards passing, something like that. And no touchdowns. Typical him." Brandon Marshall had trouble hanging onto the ball at times and wound up with five receptions for 71 yards after catching just two passes the previous week. Michael Bush ran for 55 yards and a touchdown with Matt Forte sidelined by a sprained right ankle. "Its not how we wanted to perform, but got a W," Bush said. Credit for that goes to the defence. Israel Idonije had 2 1/2 sacks, and the Bears simply made it a miserable Bradford, who was 18 of 35 for 152 yards with two interceptions. Steven Jackson managed just 29 yards rushing after missing most of the previous game with a groin injury and sitting out practice during the week, and Amendola had five catches for 55 yards after tying a club record with 15 catches for 160 yards. "We definitely didnt play well today," Bradford said. "Give them credit, they played us tough. But I think there are a lot of things when we look at the film that are going to fall on us. Things that we were in control of and just didnt handle. It was a tough game, a lot for us to learn from and move on as a group." Protection might be at the top of the list. Then again, the Bears had something to do with it, too. For all the questions surrounding their defensive line, the results so far are good. They came in tied for second in the league with eight sacks and added to their total with another balanced effort. Its not just Julius Peppers being disruptive; hes getting help, too. "Were fighting for the sacks," said Paea, who had one. "Its not just one person on the quarterback. Its two or three." The effort on defence was enough to overcome a subpar performance by the offence. When the Bears had chances, they simply didnt take advantage. With Chicago leading by four early in the final quarter, a 21-yard scramble by Cutler put the ball on the 6. But the Bears settled for a field goal to make it 13-6 after he overthrew an open Devin Hester in the end zone, the ball going through the receivers hands as he tried to make a leaping catch. That drew more groans from an already weary crowd, but the Bears came out on top. "Most games are like this," Cutler said. "Most games are slug-outs. Its a four-quarter game." Notes: Jackson said afterward that he wasnt risking further injury by playing and that he "came out of this clean." He added: "I just wish I could have been more productive and help my team win." ... Finnegan has an interception in each of the three games. ... Bears FB Evan Rodriguez left with a knee injury early in the game. ' ' '
