jeez.

GO ANDY!!!!!!

That was a pretty entertaining match! Go Andy!!

I don't watch much tennis. Ok I really don't watch *ANY* tennis...but my wife and I watched this match last night. I couldn't believe the speed that Roddick was generating out of his servers. Even after almost two hours of play he was serving up high 130's. Crazy.

He had *a lot* of unforced errors though. More than double his opponent. Is that common for his game?

Roddick's serve is just crazy! I think that's where he really dominates.

I don't think he normally has that many unforced errors, unless he plays Fedderer :)

She wore it again tonight.:heart:

And she completely steamrolled her opponent. Looking pretty good.

-edit-
looks like Blake is on tonight. Should be a good match. I want blake to meet federer and take him out.
-edit-2
checked the draw. Looks like blake/federer could only happen in the finals. GO ANDY!

Sharapova totally dominated her last two opponents. Just watched the match now and the other girl had no chance at all.

LOL!

Watch the blake match. It's worse than soccer in terms of faking/acting.

I are le hurt! I are le cramping!

-edit-
what a f'in faker. He grabs his hammy and then proceed to strech his quad.

then proceeds to jump off his "oh, le hurt" leg on either muscle. Me not 'le convinced'.

lol sharapova lost? I was watching that match when she started to implode in the 3rd set. I had to turn to the michigan/app state game though.

45 unforced errors and 12 double faults.

No way to win a match with those numbers.

She must have had at least half of those DF's in the 3rd set. I remember seeing at least 4 or 5.

Yes it was. Really wanted blake to win. They both brought their A game, Haas gets the win.

Federer getting challenged down a break in the first set via Lopez. On UHD.

-edit-
JEEZ!

Lopez is throwing some wicked serves. Not only are they in the 130+ range, they've got wicked spin.

are you surprised? The guy is rock solid. Did you see the Inser match? two striaght sets without an unforced error. Also, the guy is SO humble.

Heh, we're going to see Serena Williams and Nadal beat-up their opponents tonight. Should be fun.

Roddick is @#$%ed. Federer? No way Andy has a shot.

He's similar to Sampras in that he is RARELY broken. Roddick has been serving really well, hustling and coming up with shots that are pretty incredible.

Federer is pretty amazing as well and just consistantly coming up with winners that shouldn't be possible.

Federer will most likely win, it should be a great match. GO ANDY!

Serena and Nadal are playing tonight.
I assume Federer/Roddick is tomorrow.
