Roddick back to the finals.

Roddick back to the finals.


Roddick looked pretty good last week until he ran into Murray and then he got waxed. Roddick will need some help with others knocking out Murray and/or Nadal for him to have a shot to get to the finals I can't see Roddick taking down either or both of those two on his own.

Here are some of Jim Courier's thoughts on new playing surface at Wimbledon. It's b/c of the change in the surface, as well as the change to heavier balls, that Nadal and Federer's Channel Slams, don't hold the same weight as Borg's three Channel Slams IMO


quote:

It’s hard to imagine that the same Wimbledon courts that were played on from 1989-1999 play as slow today as the players claim they do. The courts I played on at that time were low bouncing and slick, the easiest courts to hit winners on tour all year long. I heard yesterday that some players are finding it more difficult to put the ball away at Wimbledon than they did at Roland Garros a few weeks ago.

In any sport the old players always had it harder. Hell I think Borg had to walk 15miles up hill both ways just to get to the court.

Federer may not be the best to ever play, but he's the best right now and broke records.

Roddick just curb stomped Hanescu. Only 4 unforced errors, not bad at all.

Delpo needs to get it together if he's finally going to make it past the 2nd round

Roddick looked awesome and Delpo needs new shoes.

Fish has been playing at this level for over a year now.

Tomorrow will be great. Look for some top seeds to go down. I have the DVR ready.

He did really well on the US hard courts prior to the US Open last year, but then he kind of disappeared again after that.

Rowdy Roddick is going to take down Murray and then Nadal to make the final. Book. It.

Nice win for Delpo. Hopefully he can get past Simon so that we have an interesting Nadal match prior to the quarters

He came to play. His match tomorrow might be tricky but there's no reason to lose.
