Whoo was a fun match. Renews my faith in Sampras.

IMHO Roddick will continue to lose until he stops trying to hit frickin' winners from ten frickin' feet behind the baseline. His volleys haven't improved in the past twelve months, and he just doesn't have the head for the game thus far.

James Blake is the future of american tennis!

Go Davenport!!

Man this game was extremely lackluster. Sampras simply dominated Roddick. Even with a good foot, I doubt Roddick would have won the match. Other than his serve, he doesn't really have anything else that stands out. Agassi vs Hewitt should be a much better match, because we know Agassi always comes to play.

uhhh...roddick beate sampras the first two times they played...roddick has an awesome serve and forehand, but like all baseliners he has to work on his volleys...although i'll have to admit roddick's backhand is really weak, maybe this will be a wakeup call for him...his game is very one-sided at this point

he is running around his backhand alot instead of trying to improve it

Both the Sampras vs. Roddick and Williams vs. Williams should be great tennis to watch. I'm glad the matches are getting exciting, again. :)
