But he put his game face on and came through for a chance to advance to the 2010 Australian Open quarterfinals with an upset against Roddick.

For Roddick, the American is 8-0 in 2010 thus far, and is coming off a big win against Spaniard, Feliciano Lopez. The 2003 US Open champ will now play a man who he admits has a very powerful forehand that poses some very unique challenges for him. “He's a very dangerous player,” Roddick praised Gonzalez. “Some days he comes out, looks like he's playing ping pong the way he can sling the ball around.”
In case you were wondering, Roddick leads their overall meeting 8-3, but Gonzalez must do all he can to control and pound the American with his signature forehand if he wants to continue in Melbourne. “It's going to be tough,” the South American attested. “For sure I have to play better if I want to beat him. He's playing a good level.”
