place your bets folks! Over - Under

# of games Roddick will win in the 3rd set:

1.5

1


Then he'll do a press conference in which he blames the press for his loss.

Nah, he'll go the distance this set...2 games won

 

[aronnov reborn]

Nadal feeling bad and giving one?

 

[perfectchaos007]

He'll win 3 games

 

[Speevy]

Maybe Nadal is letting himself get behind 0-40 so he can come back, like a game within a game.

 

[Diprosalic]

i'm embarrassed for believing roddick has a chance. how could i be so wrong?

 

[aronnov reborn]

Maybe Nadal is letting himself get behind 0-40 so he can come back, like a game within a game.

I'd laugh but i think you're right

 

[Diprosalic]

nadal plays with him now like a cat with a mouse.

 

[royalan]

Lost the game after having triple break point...Nadal is just toying with him now...

 

[perfectchaos007]

you called it!

LOL, that just happened.

 

[sfedai0]

Damn you Roddick. The only American left and you cant do shit.

 

[OmniGamer]

Damn you Roddick. The only American left and you cant do shit.

Male

 

[sfedai0]

Male

Should he be called that? Could Roddick be ranked if he went over to the women's side?

 

[aronnov reborn]

8/24 at the net...

 

[aronnov reborn]

Nadal better not even look happy after this match. no clapping / or shouting / or cheering. he should just point and giggle.

 

[Akira]

I hope Nadal isn't trying too hard in this match. He needs to peak in next two matches.

 

[royalan]

Too hard? I don't think he's trying, period.

EDIT:

Roddick you better not retire from this match. I want your humiliation to be complete and thorough.

 

[Clegg]

Remember when America used to have good Men's Tennis players?

Blake, Roddick and Fish dont have shit on Sampras or Agassi.

 

[Speevy]

I hope Nadal isn't trying too hard in this match. He needs to peak in next two matches.

All he has to do to beat Andy Murray is play consistently and return well in long rallies.

 

[royalan]

Winners:

Nadal: 23
Roddick: 0

 

[Speevy]

That's a great stat for a big-hitting American player. No winners.

 

[Nemo]

Press conf should be good

At least his wife will make up the loss to him

 

[Speevy]

Andy can't even safely guide the ball into play.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Roddick's career was officially done when he choked against Fed.......won't ever sniff a grand slam again

 

[Speevy]

Press conf should be good

At least his wife will make up the loss to him

If winning was what initially attracted her to him, she should be screwing half the guys on tour by now.

Who? Skeletor up there in the stands? Nah, he'll probably go to mistress on the payroll #5...

 

[Iadien]

"trying to hard" isn't the issue, it's the time on the court. It's going to be in 3 sets, so no issues there.

 

[Speevy]

Juan Martin Del Potro is sitting at home right now thinking "I blasted this guy off the court the last time we played here."

 

[Clegg]

Press conf should be good

At least his wife will make up the loss to him

Well at least she'd be used to it by now. She's been consoling him non-stop for the last 2 years.

 

[Speevy]

I really hope the Women's Final is Kerber/Wozniacki just for the craziness of that headline.

 

[royalan]

YES RODDICK! A PERSONAL BEST!

 

[Speevy]

Way to NOT hit that passing shot for your NOT first winner of the match.

 

[lucius]

They are not even showing the Stosur match on TV, what kind of BS is that?

Just let ESPN2 show it.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Roddick being a child.

You're being outplayed! Stop blaming the umpire. Jesus.

 

[Speevy]

This is somehow worse than when he lost to Lu.

 

[royalan]

damnit...3 games...i'm out.

 

[Akira]

This is somehow worse than when he lost to Lu.

Really? Losing to a 10 time grand slam champion is worse than to an unknown Taiwanese journeyman?

Edit: Ah, I think you're comparing the manner he's losing to Nadal to the fact he lost to Lu.

Yes.

 

[Diprosalic]

well roddick played that bad and didn't even get bageled. he should be proud.

the only positive about this match is that rafa has never been tested the whole tournament lets see how he does against a real opponent. well maybe he won't face one.

 

[Speevy]

Nadal will beat Murray, and hopefully Federer will beat Djokovic, but I think it's more likely that Djoker wins so we'll see a Djoko/Nadal final.

 

[Diprosalic]

here are my possible scenarios how this tournament will play out.


federer and djokovic play a tough match, nadal wins easily, nadal wins finals.
djokovic schools federer and beats nadal in finals.
federer schools djokovic and loses against nadal in finals.


it makes me sad that i have to root for djoker tomorrow.

 

[lucius]

If Joker beats Fed easy that's only way I think we will see a good final, any other way I think Nadal takes it easily and I don't even like the guy.

 

[Shapingo]

Ouden/Sock already broken

they break back!

 

[Pakkidis]

I think either Djoko or Federer will win the tournament.

 

[chuckddd]

I think either Djoko or Federer will win the tournament.

Way to go out on the limb.

I think either Djokovic, Federer or Nadal wins.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Murray will win. I still believe...until he chokes again.

 

[royalan]

No way Murray will win. His biggest problem is his own attitude. The second he starts whining and bitching the quality of his play nosedives.

All the guys left in the tourney are good enough to go for the kill-shot the second that happens. Hell, Isner is a borderline rookie and he almost managed to do it.

 

[Clegg]

Does anyone feel that Tennis is kinda boring these days?

Back in the early nineties after Agassi won a tournament he would have went to Vegas booked a presidential suite then spent all the prize money on hookers and cocaine.

Now we have the mutual love in between Fed and Rafa. And now Novak wants to make it a 3 way. Where's all the spite gone?

That's the men's side. Women's side is plenty catty. lol

I think it's because, for us Americans, a lot of the top men are foreign players. Get some Americans on top, and we'll hear all about the scandal.
