Rafa had a valid point when he said the clay court season was jammed into a tight time frame. I feel like I’ve just wrapped up one tournament, take a breath and then turn around and realize we’re already halfway through the next tournament. And I’m just writing about it!
So Roger Federer passed another clay […]
Beating Roger Federer doesn’t do much good if you can’t follow it up with another victory. Andy Roddick squandered his breakthrough victory over Federer by losing to Nikolay Davydenko in straight sets at the Sony Ericsson Open. I guess that’s what happens when you’re still reeling from an emotional victory 24 hours earlier.
Davydenko had fallen […]
I think it’s officially arrived: Roger Federer no longer dominates the game of tennis. He’s been off-and-on and shaky all year but today’s loss made it true for me today.
Andy Roddick finally avenged his dismal record against the world number one and pulled off a three-set (7-6, 4-6, 6-3) victory in his 12th try at […]
Time to take a break from stewing over tennis results and on to the important things: a professional tennis player’s love life!
Yes, it’s true. Andy Roddick is engaged to model girlfriend Brooklyn Decker. For all those young teenagers across America - and older, I suppose - Roddick is off the market.
A date has not been […]
It’s getting to be a pretty normal sight, this United States Davis Cup team. Andy Roddick, James Blake and Bob and Mike Bryan will be suiting up for the U.S. for a record 10th time. The U.S. has had the same Davis Cup roster since Andre Agassi played the final time in March 2005.
Consistency - […]
One of these days, i’m going to fiill out a tennis tournament’s bracket just like you fill out the March Madness bracket. Or the way I fill out a March Madness bracket anyway. Sadly, I can’t enter any bracket pools because of my job, but at least I can still fill it out and have […]
He’s the comic relief of the professional tennis world. While some point fingers and say he’s too much like a frat boy, Andy Roddick is at the very least someone with a personality and I’ll take that any day over some stodgy player.
Roddick’s latest escapades came in a press conference when a woman - someone […]
There has been some ups and downs to start this first quarter of the 2008 season. Probably the one that sticks out the most is Roger Federer’s decline. Well - maybe not decline - how about the narrowing of the gap between him and the minions chasing him? But for today, I’d like to put […]
The nice thing about backing a losing horse is that when he wins, it shoots the excitement factor through the roof. And in some cases, if you back the losing horse long enough, eventually he’s going to win.
Andy Roddick won the Dubai Open yesterday with a 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 victory over unseeded Feliciano Lopez in […]
Several others did what Roger Federer could not: they advanced at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
Andy Roddick defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero handily in two sets (6-2, 6-4). Rafael Nadal had to come from a set down to defeat Philipp Kohlschreiber and Novak Djokovic easily worked over Marin Cilic in straight sets.
Djokovic voiced what so many others […]
