(Houston-AP) -- It might not be too long before Davis Cup veterans are asking Andy Roddick all the questions.

The 19-year-old player won both of his singles matches Sunday, beating Alberto Martin in straight sets as as the Team USA beat Spain in Houston, three matches to one.

That earned the US team a spot in the Davis Cup semifinals against defending champion France.

Roddick used his booming serve that occasionally reached 135 miles per hour to take quick control of his match with Alberto Martin.

He experienced a brief sag in the second set before finishing out strong.
