The United States turned to Andy Roddick to put away another Davis Cup, and he delivered -- as usual. Roddick swept past Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka in straight sets to give the U.S. an opening round victory Sunday in the best-of-five series, pretty much wiping out any final-day drama. Roddick, ranked sixth in the world, is now 11-0 with a chance to close out a Davis Cup series.
