Andy Roddick miffed by Olympic layout at Wimbledon

Roddick miffed by Olympic layout

United States tennis veteran Andy Roddick has said that it is strange to be playing Olympic tennis at the All England Club, which is the annual host of the Wimbledon Championships.

The big-serving American is in second-round singles action at the Games today against Novak Djokovic after ousting Martin Klizan yesterday.

Speaking after his victory, Roddick said: "I'm having a hard time putting my finger on we're at the Olympics... [because] we're at Wimbledon.

"I've taken some wrong turns and places that are normally open are closed off now, so I'm having to learn different routes around this place."

The 29-year-old is appearing at the Olympics for the first time in eight years after missing out on Beijing four years ago.
