Federer melts down against big-serving RoddickNo. 1 loses 11 straight points in final setFROM THE SONY ERICSSON OPEN IN MIAMI – After Roger Federer lost the opening set to Andy Roddick in their quarterfinal clash, he clawed his way back into the match. He was the dominant player until midway through the third set and then … lost a whopping 11 straight points. The final score: Roddick the winner 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-3. "It's a tough way to finish the match," a calm Federer said. "But what are you going to do? It's over now." Federer had not faced a break point and was up 0-30 on Roddick's serve at 3-all in the final set. Roddick played some good points to dig himself out of that hole, but the way Federer lost his next service game was shocking.
