      (Newser) - Jose Acasuso had a 25th birthday present for Andy Roddick last night: the Argentine bowed out of the pair's second-round US Open match last night, citing an injured left knee. No. 5 Roddick, who was leading Acasuso 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, had started to dominate the service game. "I don't like winning like that, but your goal is to get through," said Roddick. More »
