Yes, you could see the real pain in his face after coming so close. You know, this is remarkable athletic performance. I'm not sure casual sports fans understand how 'fit' these tennis players (men AND women) have to be to hammer away for 4 hours like that. Incredible. I was completely entertained and amazed.
We disagree. Roddick did play the match of his life, you must concur. I was rooting for Roger, by the way. Loved seeing Borg, Laver, Sampras, and Nastase up there, too.
It was an unbeleeble match. Really. Unbeleeble. Listening to Federer's comments post-match, it's clear he needs a P-R make-over. All he could think of was last year's loss to Nadal, little mention of Roddick's remarkable effort. Roddick pointed out off-microphone that Roger shouldn't dwell on past losses - he'd only won Wimbledon 5 times before that. Great shot, there. Oh, but Roger said "unbeleeble" about 22 times in 3 minutes. Yes, truly unbeleeble.
Incredible. Poor fellow. Crocodile tears are in order.
