American Andy Roddick withdrew from the
Tennis Masters Cup on Wednesday because of an ankle injury.
Roddick, who lost his first round-robin match on Monday to Andy Murray, was
hurt while practicing Tuesday.
"When I was doing a warm-up drill in practice I just went over on it," said
Roddick. "We tried as much as we could to get it better."
Roddick was set to face Roger Federer on Wednesday in round-robin action at
the season-ending event. He was replaced in the draw by Radek Stepanek of the
Czech Republic.
