I think you're giving roddick a little too much credit

1/28/2009 2:50:34 PM

i think roddick's power will definitely be outmatched by federer's finesse and his stamina

1/28/2009 3:38:01 PM

such bullshit that the roof got closed in the middle of serena's match. it's almost like they saw she was in trouble and wanted to give her a better chance to pull through

don't get me wrong, kuznetsova still blew it, but the whole roof thing is still ridiculous

1/28/2009 5:22:05 PM

i feel like there was something else that was changed in a Serena match within the last year that ended up having her come back and winning then too

1/28/2009 5:23:53 PM

i gotta disagree. No matter if you're in the sun or not, you got to finish out a set when the match is on your serve.

1/28/2009 5:28:25 PM

well serena's going to get another title now

1/29/2009 2:05:18 AM

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck why am i staying up to watch federer spank roddicks ass again?

1/29/2009 3:18:09 AM

Ugh. Andy down in straight sets.

1/29/2009 5:54:11 AM

and tell me again, who is shocked by this?

1/29/2009 8:42:10 AM

poor roddick, fed is his kryptonite... be it anyone can be when roddick's head isnt in the game, but man... if he only he wasnt playing in the federer era

1/29/2009 8:43:01 AM

Yeah, Roddick gets a lot of crap, but he would have at least 3 more Slams to his name if not for Federer. Not to shabby for a guy who (according to many) only has his serve going for him.

1/29/2009 10:15:41 AM

^ he has a few flaws, but overall a solid game. He has so much spin on his forehand that it lands short more often than it should. His backhand doesn't have enough, so it doesn't have the power and control. He moves well and plays great passing shots (because of the spin) and has a huge serve game. Problem is, for a guy who has a monster serve, federer doubled the amount of aces over roddick. That's not gonna do it for andy. (WORDS OMG NO PARAGRAPH SPACING)

1/29/2009 10:21:43 AM

^another flaw is that he cant let things go that go wrong for him in a match. The match report said he had an argument with the umpire and it took him a number of change overs to stop talking to the umpire.

I still think he is still a great player and agree that he would have a few wimbledons without federer

1/29/2009 11:42:59 AM

^^he has other flaws too, no finesse or in between game whatsoever

man I can't remember of more ownage between two top players as federer and roddick

1/29/2009 2:56:32 PM

Fuckin amazing match goin on right now between nadal & verdasco

1/30/2009 8:18:48 AM

it's been incredible, I was sleepy at some point during the 3rd/4th set, but I can't sleep now

1/30/2009 8:27:54 AM

I woke up and though that it was the encore but the match has just been going that long. As of now verdasco has 90 winners

1/30/2009 8:38:15 AM

anyone have espn360 login? im at work and wanna watch this

1/30/2009 8:39:14 AM

great match. first year getting into tennis

1/30/2009 8:48:37 AM

PRESSURE HOLD

1/30/2009 8:56:54 AM

nadal looks like a ninja turtle

1/30/2009 8:58:08 AM

1/30/2009 9:01:38 AM

Wow

2 double faults ftl

1/30/2009 9:09:05 AM

finals predictions?? im going to say fed in 4.

1/30/2009 9:39:48 AM

fed in 4 sounds reasonable.

having watched that match, i think he was just doing this to rile himself up. he actually started playing a little better after one of his little spats.

1/30/2009 11:18:30 AM

yeah i didnt see the match just the report. In the past I know this had happen to him.

as for the final, i just hope for another epic like wimbledon. It will be interesting to see the difference in federer only playing 3 sets to nadals tough five.

Its going to be a long 12 hours with are basketball game at 3.30pm and this starting at 3.30 am

1/30/2009 11:57:03 AM

Fed definitely in 4 (less would be better)...I hope Pistol Pete shows up

1/30/2009 12:06:46 PM

I've got to give credit to verdasco I thought nadal would win easily since they have similar games, which is why I was going for tsonga but he is the real deal

now federer better win this fucking match or just give up entirely

1/30/2009 2:53:22 PM

wtf

I thought this was starting at 3, and I turn it there and the 1st set is already over

fuck that

1/30/2009 2:56:27 PM

verdasco/nadal?

it ran long (longest match in the history of the aus. open). you should watch it. it is epic (and high-level) until the very last game.

1/30/2009 3:18:48 PM

well since you say that, I am just going to assume that Nadal took it

1/30/2009 3:44:31 PM

I just love watching people fold like lawn chairs in final matches

1/31/2009 4:11:24 AM

1/31/2009 12:22:46 PM

anyone else staying up to watch the match?

2/1/2009 12:09:50 AM

k and plz no one that watched it at 3:30 ruin it for me like you did for the last nadal match, kthx

2/1/2009 12:37:26 AM

well now you're just asking for it

2/1/2009 1:14:10 AM

LOL

I guess I'll just avoid this thread

though it would be nice to be able to talk about it while it was going on

and most of us aren't going to be up for it at 3:30

2/1/2009 1:21:29 AM

this shit is tight

2/1/2009 4:35:47 AM

Incredible!!

2/1/2009 9:15:49 PM

I guess I was pullin for Nadal tho

but I like them both

2/1/2009 9:17:04 PM

i want federer to break sampras' record, but then Nadal to just go insane on players grand slam in and grand slam out
