Well, I would think Fognini is a better matchup for him than Tomic...but he certainly won't win as easily as he did tonight lol.

You all make me laugh. :lol:

I think Fognini thinks he's Tennis' new pretty boy, but this is A-Rod's house, no?

(Of course, I thought he was going to lose to Tomic. But then, I also expected BrATomic to play some actual tennis.)

Did anyone say 'whatever' yet?

I wasn't bad with this during the press conference. But now the way Roddick is acting - and how ESPN is shamelessly kissing tail (do you think they'll fly his 6th grade History teacher and date to the 8th grade dance in and interview them during the match?) - this can't be over fast enough.

But I'm almost hoping he does make the quarters and Novak puts a 1, 1, and 0 on his arrogant @ss.

one difference from tonight's match, roddick will see a few groundstrokes go by him, fognini can open up pretty good from either side. if andy serves at a decent percentage, though, i'd say he's maybe around 70% favored to take this one.

Roddick in FOUR. Have we all forgotten what happened at Eastbourne this year?? 7-5 in the third??

Both will have a fun match. Fognini has a great personality and I think Roddick wouldn't mind losing to him or vice versa.

Think Roddick makes a run here before going away. Roddick in 4 and then upsets Del Potro before losing to Djokovic.

This is the kind of match where you'd really expect an easy Roddick win and then out of nowhere loses and his career ends. Kind of like how Agassi lost to Benjamin Becker in 2006 in R3. I voted Fognini in 4, but I hope Roddick wins (and normally he should win that match without too much of a hassle).

who knows. let's just enjoy it.

It's funny people who "can't wait for Roddick to lose." how unfortunate are your lives? he'll be out of tennis forever in 4 days, just shut your mouths until then.

I really think Roddick should win this in straights.

However, for the last few years, anytime that I saw Roddick crush someone in a physical match... he comes back the next match and lays a giant egg. He never could put two physical matches together -- back to back.

I'm hoping that the looming of his pending retirement inspires him. However, once you get to a certain age, there are just some things you can't overcome.

Just ask Connors when he got ousted by a very young Agassi.

Fognini's just the sort of troublemaker who would trip up Roddick; sending the Nebraskan to retirement with a devious grin on his face. Compare how he withdrew from the FO in 2011, which caused Djokovic to develop a little rust.

The Fabulous Fognini in three.

Suddenly Fognini is a legitimate favourite in this match? Any other year people would be picking Roddick in 3 - So I'll go with Roddick (whatever number of sets).

Roddick should and will win this one. He'll go down swinging against Del Potro or perhaps even make the QF against Djokovic.


Hopefully! :)

FOGNINI IN 3, or four sets at most if Roddick's serve is booming... Happy retirement Andy!

Fognini doesn't care enough to win the match. He already got farther than he expected I'm sure and as long as he pleases the crowd he has done his job.

I am amazed that given all the coaching he has received and all his years on the pro tour (12?), AR still cannot hit a decent approach shot.

He still has the great big serve though.

New to the board (Hola'), and my first post if half "stupid", but has there ever been a match in history where each participant's wife/girlfriend was one of the best looking women on the planet? I actually think Fognini's gf is actually better looking than B. Decker!

ARod in 4!

I still like Jarah (Verdasco's latest) the most of the current crop. Berdy's ain't bad (he really stepped his game up from Safarova!). Tips wife. Davy's wife.

Marat Safin would be proud of the boys! :)

Nadal's girlfriend is better than either of those players' girlfriends. Can't really see how you'd make a case for Brooklyn Decker, unless you're into shemales with pointy chins and deformed arms.

Jelena Ristic is good-looking, but I dislike Ivanovic because she looks fat and arrogant. Sharapova is nice too, but Xisca edges them both.
