Yeah I was wondering about that. I'm a fan of Federer, but you have to feel sorry for Roddick. He put in such a fine effort. Btw, did anyone else notice that Federer may have served more than 51 aces last night in that match?
This wasn't really an issue though, whoever broke serve first would have won.
funny thing was i expect roddick to get thrashed.
Did you notice Roddick's playstyle changing abit?I think everybody did - but Roddick's serve was ridiculous last night (throughout the entire tournament in fact). Definitely the best I've seen him play.
It feels like there should be two Wimbeldon champions this year
I'm pretty sure it was an attempt from Roddick to be jovial and graceful, it didn't quite come off as he hoped because he was choking back too much emotion but it certainly wasn't hostile, I think Federers comment was a slip of the tongue, didn't come out how he hoped. Reminds me of Boris Becker when he said somethign like "you know Kevin played a great match and really deserved to be here but I played better".
fed always has slip ups though
So did Boris, thats why we love our ESL tennis players.fed always has slip ups though
Last years final was infinitely better in terms of quality imo.
Good point there.
It was more exciting because it had rallies and thus we saw alot more grand shots played but last night was a display of clinical, expert serving that snuffed out any chance of breaks from the start. It's at times boring but it was first rate quality last year there were many mistakes from both players that allowed the other to hold on. This year there were about half a dozen major blunders in the whole match.
lolol I like your post. Reps for you.
Oh my......
yeah but Roger also had the unfavourable side of the court for some time too at the change of ends. And he managed fine.
Thank god I'm not the only one that noticed this!
Lolwut. a) That's not an excuse at the elite level, b) I'm pretty sure he was wearing a hat.
