Starting now on CBS and in glorious HD.

Andy Roddick, being the only american left will have a tough time against Roger Federer, who has seemed to mastered every aspect of the game.

Roddick is serving very well at 135+ miles per hour. That's insane.

Go Roddick!

Roddick
4-6, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 3-6, 7-6

Seems to me that Federer is kicking the crap out of Roddick early.

Well he is the better player. He's dominating.

I just really want andy to win/stay in it.

He reminds me of sampras. He just never gets his serves broken. (federer that is)

He's been doing that all tournament. I can't imagine how these players keep returning it.

They set the serving machines to 200 mph when they practice, that's how.

:Q Didn't know that. A serving machine serves the same way every time though.

You can set the serving machines to serve different types of spins just like baseball pitch machines.

I don't know. Roddick is playing very well in this second set. If he can just keep it up.

Lose the first set, win the next two closely, lose the next two, and win the 5th in a breaker. I love 5 setters at the us open.
