James Blake loses in 5 sets to Bagdahtis. Might be time for him to call it a career.


Louisiana native Ryan Harrison just won his first set.

Blake had a great US Open years back. Since then he's been iffy. I agree he should hang it up.

I'm pulling for Harrison because he's my gf's cousin. Other then that ISNER(butreallyDjokovic) for CHAMPION!

I remember losing my shite when Blake beat Federer in the Olympics and that was when Federer was on top of the tennis world.

He's had a big...big fall. He had a chance to be a great player.

And about Roddick... Sure he didn't look that great in the rallies but he was playing a pretty nutty player today and was just looking to get through the match as easily as he could. His backhand looked pretty good at times.

He has a very favorable run to the quarters and then who knows what could happen.

You have to factor in though that this was Roddick's first match in months.


Roddick had 3 solid wins over Lopez, Anderson, and Verdasco before losing to Murray in the Wimbledon warm up tournament semifinals just last week. So this was not his first match in months.

Any idea how his younger brother is doing? From what I've read, Christian may be a better "pro prospect" (whatever that means) than Ryan. Is he playing ITF juniors?

As long as Roddick's serve is working on the grass, he has as good of a chance as any to win this thing.


Put down the sauce there buddy.

Anyone ever been to Wimbledon? And if so, what was it like?


It.Is.AWESOME!

Anyone who has an opportunity should go. I don’t think many people know but they reserve a certain amount of tickets (I don’t know the exact amount, let’s say 500) for walk-ups for every single match. Yes you heard that right. Had you been willing to campout long enough, you could have gotten a ticket to the Federer-Nadal 5 set epic for face value. Unfortunately I was no longer living in Europe during this time

Definitely an all-time favorite for me as well. Blake was so damn fun to watch play.

Agassi is actually in quite a few of my all-time favorite matches. He and Rafter (my favorite player when I was in high school) had some awesome battles back in the day.

Never met either one of them, so I have no idea.

AR or JI would be epic for America.
