Roddick-Safin will highlight Day 5 in Oz

Tennis Betting Lines

01/18/2007 - Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Swiss superstar Roger Federer will take to the courts Friday at the 2007 Australian Open, but a third-round match between former world No. 1s Andy Roddick and Marat Safin will mark the marquee bout of the day at Melbourne Park.

The sixth-seeded Roddick and 26th-seeded Safin have split six career matchups, but the big Russian is 1-0 against the American here in Melbourne, with the victory coming three years ago in the Aussie Open quarters.

Both the 2006 U.S. Open runner-up Roddick and Safin are former U.S. Open champions and the Russian has also titled here in Melbourne (2005) to go along with his pair of runner-up finishes at this Aussie fortnight.

The top-seeded/world No. 1 Federer, currently riding a 31-match winning streak, will face 25th-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny, who is a dismal 0-7 lifetime against the mighty Swiss.

Federer captured the Aussie Open last year and in 2004 and is seeking his 10th career Grand Slam title. He currently holds the Aussie, Wimbledon and U.S. Open crowns.

Seventh-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo will battle American Sam Querrey on Day 5, while ninth-seeded Croat Mario Ancic will be opposed by 22nd-seeded Slovak Dominik Hrbaty.

Other third-round bouts will pit 14th-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic against Thai Danai Udomchoke, 16th-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer versus 20th-seeded Czech Radek Stepanek and 18th-seeded Richard Gasquet against his fellow Frenchman Gael Monfils. Djokovic is already a perfect 7-0 this season, including a title in Adelaide two weeks ago.

One other crowd-pleasing match will pit veteran Aussie favorite Wayne Arthurs against capable American Mardy Fish.
