First break.

9/6/2007 12:06:30 AM

About to be over for Andy....and he really has played fairly well this time.

Bye bye US

9/6/2007 12:10:39 AM

that was a damn fun match to watch.

for a straight set win, it was competitive as hell

9/6/2007 12:15:37 AM

no doubt, i was surprized with what roddick brought to the table

9/6/2007 12:17:29 AM

hahaha. 'if you have to bet the bank on whether fed wins 4 grand slams or 2 grand slams in a year, you almost have to bet on 4'

9/6/2007 12:17:46 AM

Nope, I think Nadal is going to steal some from him in the near future, at least I think it's more likely than Federer beating Nadal on clay.

Nadal's only 21.

I MUST BREAK YOU

9/6/2007 12:23:04 AM

hopefully Djokovich gets to the final and makes it somewhat interesting

9/6/2007 12:24:16 AM

nadal has to be careful and not run himself into the ground...all these young guns coming up

9/6/2007 12:59:26 AM

I like what my girlfriend said about Serena's quote.
Serena: "She had some lucky shots"
My girlfriend: "Yeah, they're called winners!"



Sad to see Jankovic lose. She's a cutey and has really grown on me as a player. I wish that Martina Hingis could be making the triumphant comeback that everyone had hoped. At least I won't have to worry about missing the matches this weekend since we all know it's going to be Henin and Feds bringing home the bacon.

9/6/2007 6:37:21 AM

jankovic is not a cutie

In case anyone overlooks it...

and that match last night... it really looked like Roddick played one of the best games of his life and he simply could not beat Federer... that has got to be one of the most disappointing defeats in his career... he can't say he had any problems, did anything inherently wrong... he was simply outclassed even when at his very best

9/6/2007 8:44:04 AM

jankovic isn't really a cutie, but she DOES seem like a really nice girl. after her loss last night she was so classy in the post-match interview even when she was obviously disappointed in her loss

9/6/2007 8:54:34 AM

yeah i was liking her too...shes not drop dead gorgeous like many of the eastern bloc players, but she has great personality, and a nice smile which she shows often.

i agree 100%

9/6/2007 10:27:04 AM

i can't believe you guys talked about this match that much like roddick ever had a chance.

he'll NEVER beat federer - close doesn't mean shit

9/6/2007 1:24:28 PM

If in NEVER you mean NEVER AGAIN, then ok.

He has beaten him once, in Montreal IRRC.

9/6/2007 1:56:23 PM

I get sick of hearing Venus and Serena run their mouth.

9/6/2007 2:14:10 PM

^^ya never again - even in some best 2/3 set tourney like that one

Joker's moving on...

9/6/2007 10:32:14 PM

^^^^iirc he was the last american to beat roger at a major (the us open in 2003)

9/6/2007 11:12:32 PM

Wrong

Roddick won the open that year, but he didn't beat Federer

David Nalbandian beat Roger in the 4th round IIRC

9/6/2007 11:22:14 PM

anyone see the djokovic impressions...pretty funny...i hear roddick does a sharapova impression too

The Roddick one is the best.

9/7/2007 9:47:28 AM

^^^ok. guess i mixed up some facts

9/7/2007 9:54:47 AM

9/7/2007 10:21:02 AM

wow, that was an impressive rally.

that one will be on Sportscenter tonight.

9/7/2007 4:55:14 PM

Justine Henin: my personal hero.

9/7/2007 7:38:25 PM

heroine

9/7/2007 7:47:14 PM

after beating the williams sisters, tonight should be icing on the cake for henin right?

[Edited on September 8, 2007 at 4:16 PM. Reason : nvm]

9/8/2007 4:04:41 PM

yes

9/8/2007 5:06:29 PM

fed won't lose this set

9/8/2007 5:22:51 PM

i'm looking forward to the men's final. i hope novak gives him hell

9/8/2007 6:00:43 PM

here we go...

9/9/2007 4:04:54 PM

i predict 30 serve dribbles at some point from djokovic

9/9/2007 5:35:16 PM

gd more like chokovic

9/9/2007 5:45:10 PM

im kinda glad i didnt get tix to this...ive been all into the NFL today and i barely even want to watch this on TV

9/9/2007 5:46:44 PM

Yeah, that was terrible. Can't let up and start playing like shit against the best player ever, even with 3 set points on your serve.

9/9/2007 5:47:14 PM

chokovic only has himself to blame so far

9/9/2007 6:32:23 PM

roddick federer all over again

9/9/2007 6:32:37 PM

no comment

9/9/2007 6:33:24 PM

God, Federer is just crushing this poor kids soul.

9/9/2007 6:34:17 PM

he's letting federer crush him

9/9/2007 6:34:49 PM

darth federer

no, I meant hero. thanks though

9/9/2007 8:26:56 PM

so i guess this federer character isn't half bad...

9/9/2007 8:33:26 PM

ok. this is ridiculous these players are getting beat by being stupid. Federer is not better tahn Djokovic he is an illusion. he pretends to be calm just to psyche his oponent into thinking he is about to play on a different level so they need to hit all amazing winners then they start making mistakes and then they fall apart. that's all it is he is a good actor thats why he keeps winning agassi said basically this same thing. federer is no Sampras who won with his play on the court he just wins by making his opponents feel like they have no chance. Federer would have no chance against Sampras.
