Tennis: Roddick turns tide in Shanghai but Fish flounders


SHANGHAI (Reuters): Fifth seed Mardy Fish became the first big casualty at the Shanghai Masters when he lost to 49th-ranked Bernard Tomic on Tuesday but fellow American Andy Roddick did make the third round.

World number nine Fish began well but started overhitting his returns and crumpled in the second before Australian Tomic broke serve at 4-4 in the third and sealed a 4-6 6-1 6-4 win with a crosscourt backhand.
