no prob buddy...I personally didn't bet the match, but IMO if Roddick doesn't win the first set it's over. If he loses the first set i think he might get steamrolled. However, if he can somehow win that set easily, like 6-2 or 6-3 or even win in a tiebreak, it'll pump him up even that much more and he might even win this. He was playing amazing tennis last yr until it started raining. Totally was overpowering federer, he will need to be doing that today. Andy hasn't played all that well, but he has been serving well, if he hits a high % of first serves it'll bode well for him. Personally I think he should dial the juice down a little bit on the first serve and just try to get federer off balance by hitting lots of wide serves and putting lots of spin on the ball. We saw he didn't like the spins against nadal. Roddick will have to vary his game, he won't be able to just use power power power, he will have to come to net, he will have to chip the ball occasionally, hit some drop shots, mix up the serve etc....w that brutal h2h record its imperative A-rod get off huge to start the match....lets go a-rod....that deserves a VAMOS or COME ON!
