Re: Masters Cup - Shanghai Ivan Ljubicic vs Andy Roddick Ljubicic been sick and haven't been able to practice fully last few weeks and Roddick is back from injury talking positive about the surface about his shape and surface which he thinks gives him an advantage so I dont know why the price is so high on him. I know he's telling the truth about his injury because I KNOW he's been practicing all week in Shanghai. Andy Roddick - 1.94 @ Pinnacle 10/10
