In the blink of an eye, serves soared, forehands flew, and Andy answered Fernando Gonzalez’s attempts to win with a dominating defense. Our American Firepower overthrew the Chilean in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, 6-1, to reach his seventh US Open quarterfinals.

After being welcomed back to the jungle for Round4, Andy’s bpx and the “Rod Squad” fan club watched him break Gonzo’s first serve when he double faulted. Andy went on to serve steady and break the silver medalist again by simply stand his ground at net to lead 5-2. Twenty five minutes later, Andy held and took the set, 6-2.

The second set kicked off with Andy’s kick serve, but the Chilean was determined to fight back. Though he was whipping forehand cross-court, Andy found himself to three break points; one at 2-1, his second at 4-3, and his final on set point at 5-4. The 11th seed fought off two out of three, but the crowd was behind our Davis Cup champion all the way on set point. Andy proved why he is just that and nailed a cross-court backhand to prevail victorious after 35 minutes, 6-4.

Defeated and discouraged, Gonzalez stpped up to the baseline for one last chance to back in the match. Andy, however, has plans to send him packing and revealed it by breaking the 28-year-old’s opening service game of the third set. On Andy’s racquet at 3-1, Gonzalez saw his first and obly break point come and go in the blink of an eye as did his next service game. The Texas stepped up to the baseline leading 5-1 and torpeod his way to claim the “W” in impressive form, 6-2, 6-4, 6-1.
