US OPEN!!!

Just wondering if any tennis fans here are keeping up with the US Open? Its been an interesting tournament with a lot of upsets.

lol@tennis

yep...been watching it since the beginning. surprised by andy roddick's early departure. but that's what you get for messin' with anna kornakova. HA!!!

i dont like tennis

but i love golf its always fun to watch tiger

does anyone have a chance to beat federer?

federer is not playing his best but hes still only lost 1 set, and that was to kiefer. But we'll see.. agassi did take federer to five sets last year at the US open, but since then in other tournaments federer has no problems against him. I think there is a good chance agassi will make it to the final.

I think Roddick is overrated as a player. Sure, he has a really good serve, and he definately belongs in the top ten, but if someone like muller can read his serve and stay with him till the tie break, andy gets tight and might lose the set. He also has a mediocre tie break record for the year

Roddick is a product of traditional American mentality. Big, heavy forehand with a cannon serve with little else.

Roddick's serve is very very very powerful, no doubt about it. His control and application is very limited though. Sampras could do a lot more with his second serve than Roddick can with his first serve. Just compare their average ace totals.

Big servers win tie breaks, Roddick certainly does not fit that mold. That indicates his place in the tennis rankings.
