The Andy Roddick show rolled on as Bernard Tomic exited stage left at the US Open in New York.

Forget Broadway, this was the hottest ticket in town on Friday night and retiring Roddick lived up to his star billing with a 6-3 6-4 6-0 whipping of the Australian teenager.

Roddick announced on his 30th birthday on Thursday that the Open would be his farewell appearance – but it was neither the American’s time to go nor Tomic’s time to arrive.

Tomic barely played a bit part in what John McEnroe, commentating on prime-time US TV, effectively labelled an 87-minute B Grade flick.

McEnroe wondered whether Tomic was even having a genuine go as the 19-year-old surrendered the final set in 21 minutes and won just five points.

“Tomic is teeing it up. It looks like the tank job,” McEnroe said.

“This is a shame. You don’t like to see this. I like to see Andy win but, other than that, it’s poor.”

“A well-deserved beating.”

Roddick, the 2003 champion and one-time world No.1, next meets Italian Fabio Fognini for a spot in the last 16.

“I’m going to look forward to it and I’m going to try and stick around a bit longer,” Roddick said.

“Oh man, that was so much fun.”
