The others are fine though lol…No offense but those guys just need to get more consistent. Both still have a lot of potential especially Rodick with his serving ability.

Roddick is just too slow. Every time I watch him, the only thing I can think is he really is just a one trick pony. His backhand sucks, and his forehand is above average at best. If his opponent gets him on the run, he's toast.

To me, James Blake has more potential simply because he's more athletic, and it seems like all the top players are just great all around athletes. They're all quick and have more than one trick up their sleeve.

Roddick is really lacking the right coach. But then again, if Conners can't get him to adjust then who can?

I dont know if u noticed this last night (or whenever for u) but Roddick seems to give up on some balls way to quickly.

Yeah, I think it's because he knows he's too slow to get to most of them, so he gives up on ALL of them too quickly.

Man, just watching this Federer match, it's unreal how good he is. Every shot he makes somehow manages to make it's way in.

I have never seen him get rattled either.

I've seen him get rattled, but I've never seen him lose a match. I can't remember what match it was last year, but I remember him getting a little crazy at Wimbledon (or was it the US Open?).

It's like playing a computer on the ultimate highest difficulty. Beatable, in theory, but you're not going to do it more than once in your life.

You've never watched him lose in the French Open?

Quite a match going on right now. He finally broke Tipserovic to go up 9-8 here in the 5th set, looks like he's going to win.

Federer advances in a classic.

KC_Connection 01-19-2008 04:16 AM

Finally a winner in Federer, I've been sitting in the same spot for awhile.

I've never managed to catch a match where I've watched him lose. Of course I know that he's lost a match before :) I'm just saying I've never watched it when it's happened.

Are you kidding me? CRAP!!!! I could have watched it and just figured he would roll.

Oh well. Guess it is better this way. I would just be mad that he won anyway. :mad:

Still no love for Federer? ;)

The obligatory 4 AM Aussie time bump - the Hewitt match is still going.

I don't think there is a tiebreaker in the 5th set (only at the US Open).
