Roddick is looking for his third title in Indianapolis

The American beat Alex Kuznetsov in Indianapolis on Monday - his first match since seeing a two-set lead slip away in the quarter-finals at SW19.

"I don't know if I'm over it," he said. "It was one of my most disappointing losses because I felt I was playing well enough to have a title shot.

"But the best therapy for me is to get back out there."

Roddick reached the Wimbledon final in 2004 and 2005 and was widely expected to meet Roger Federer in the semi-finals this year - especially after establishing a two-set lead against Gasquet and breaking in the third.

However, he lost the third and fourth sets on tiebreaks before a free-hitting Gasquet prevailed 8-6 in the fifth.

Roddick added: "Because I was disappointed doesn't mean that I thought I didn't play well.

"His stats were 94 winners and only 28 errors - that's absurd."

Roddick is the top seed in Indianapolis and could meet compatriot and American number two James Blake in the final.

Second seed Blake opened his campaign with a 7-5 7-6 win over former Australian Open champion Thomas Johansson.

British interest in Indianapolis is restricted to doubles.

Jamie Murray and his American partner Eric Butorac, the second seeds, beat Igor Kunitsyn and Hyung-Taik Lee 6-3 6-4 in the first round.
