INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) -- Andy Roddick fought his way back into the match and just as abruptly thought his way back out of it. Prolonging Roddick's 2006 frustrations, Igor Andreev beat him 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-1 Wednesday at the Pacific Life Open.

INDIAN WELLS March 15 (Reuters) - Third seed Maria Sharapova overpowered Germany's Anna-Lena Groenefeld 6-1 6-3 on Wednesday to reach a mouth-watering semi-final with Martina Hingis at the Pacific Life Open. Former Swiss world number one Hingis earlier eclipsed another Russian Dinara Safina 6-3 6-4 to reach the last four.

Disclaimer: The words "mouth-watering semi-finals" to describe the upcoming match between Sharapova and Hingis belong to the writer from Reuters….so don't blame me…though I happen to agree with the description...

Fun match up. Hurray for Hingis, huh?
Now maybe I'm in the minority, but I can't stand Roddick's tantrums, attitude, constant annoying shirt pulling. I always feel a little - I don't know - when he's out. i hate players who are all serve, too.

Hey, he hasn't been the same since Mandy Moore left him...

You know, I think that made the world a little darker for all of us.
