The U.S. first round match in Serbia has become even tougher.  Andy Roddick announced in Australia on Friday that he will not play this year due to a lingering knee injury, an Associated Press report on the USTA web site said.  He joins James Blake, who also is passing on this year’s Davis Cup.  Patrick McEnroe called it “the end of an era,” Peter Bodo writes.
