Roddick after Demolition

I caught an absolute beating tonight," said Roddick, who lost a set 6-0 for the first time in 25 Grand Slam events. "It was miserable. I'm going to try to take this like a man as much as I can."

I watched the match live, matter of fact I'm watching the replay now. Federer was a machine. Andy was playing well, but Fed was making some incredible shots and spitting back A-Rod serve like it was 80 MPH.

Federer is definitely in a class of his own right now. Some of the shots he was making last night were crazy. He was making them look easy and routine.

Roddick was not playing awful either. His serve is a weapon against everyone else except Federer. Andy normally bullies his opponents with his serve, but it seemed Federer was bullying Roddick with his own serve if that's even possible lol. Andy tried to do alot of different things against Federer and nothing worked.

I've seen Roddick play alot of matches against alot of opponents and what Fed does to Andy's serve is not even human.

I thought it was funny when they asked him if Gonzo had a chance vs. Fed Ex. "None." replied Roddick.

No Matt, he said SLIM not none.

The way Gonzo played against Haas and during the whole tourney, I would say it should be a good match.

But you have to consider Federer is 6-0 vs Gonzo and 9-1 in GS finals, only loss was the Nadal last year at Roland Garros.

Both Federer and Gonzo destroyed thier opponents in the Semis, but I'd say Roddick was playing alot better and is a better player than Haas.

I expect Fed to win, but it should be at the very least a better match than Fed/Rod and Gonzo/Haas was. lol..
