I haven't watched tennis in years. Has he won more Wimbletons than Pete?

**Bullseye** · 07-06-2009, 06:02 PM

One behind Pete. But he has one on every surface.

RF has 6 to Pete's 7

A great match ... I was glued to the TV ... Roddick played a great match ... I think his play had a lot to do with why RF had so much trouble with him. Arod was not broken until the final game ... a heartbreaking loss (I think his third Wimby final loss to Roger).

Great tennis ... I am looking forward to seeing Nadal get healthy again and square off with RF

I so wanted Roddick to win, he's such a great sportsman, far more humble than Fed, who seemed to almost be irritatingly condescending in his post match interview

Although Roger won I still think he is not playing anywhere the level he is capable off. For alot of the
final he did not look very motivated. Maybe he needs some time off.

I think the occasion of perhaps breaking such a record may have got to him. Like you said, he playing no where near his best tennis.

ya think? I have always taken that as being Roger ... I thought he was very graceful to Andy in his victory ... he even mentioned how he could not figure out his serve for the entire match and that he played a great match.

It's just the way he comes across.

He may have not played his best but Andy took his game up to a new level ... I think that is more of a factor that Roger's play IMHO

I totally disagree Roger is one of the all time great sportsmen. Don't forget he went through the same thing last year. There are no words of condolence to a player after loosing such an epic final.
