Considering I despise Roddick in almost every way, I find this beatdown highly pleasureable

 

[cucio]

Hahaha, band playing "Adiós con el corazón" (goodbye, from our hearts.)

 

[Love Game]

spains bench doing the we're not worthy bow!

:lol:

 

[thalivest]

Nadal with 29 groundstroke winners vs 2 for Roddick.

 

[cucio]

The Spanish bench kowtowing at an awesome return by Nadal. Learn something, guys.

(same fair and balanced commentators)

Clutch serving by Andy, two aces to erase two tie points. Another BP now.

 

[Love Game]

andy saves match point

rather, rafa loses it .........

 

[Atherton2003]

darn none of the links works for me.

 

[j0ns]

Jeeez what a lob. Roddicks gettin bullied on the court, but he continues to save himself with his serve.

 

[cucio]

Try I-Cable with sopcast.

 

[NadalandFedererfan]

Just finish the damn match Rafa.

 

[j0ns]

G.O.A.T deuce?!!?

 

[seffina]

Are they chanting Andy or is the sound just that bad?

 

[Atherton2003]

Roddick won that game....

 

[Atherton2003]

I would like to see this nadal play in the buff...

 

[Love Game]

Clutch serving by Andy, two aces to erase two tie points. Another BP now.

very true.

still the match is like the death of a thousand cuts for andy.

this is enough humble pie to last andy for at least 6 months.

have another bite ........

..... and another.

 

[cucio]

Good effort from Roddick, saved 5 MP and scored about 5 aces, I think.

 

[Atherton2003]

another Roddick split...his coconuts will drop out of his pants.

 

[veroniquem]

I dont see how Federer was lucky in that match. It was a 5 setter but Andreev was never at any point leading in that match. Never leading in sets, never leading during a set when tied in sets. There is no objective reasoning to think Andreev was ever more worthy of winning that match just because it went 5 sets.

I think you're wrong here. Andreev did lead in sets since he won the first one...

 

[Atherton2003]

eh...screen keeps freezing...have a good day all!!!!

 

[Cloudy]

Brilliant match point there.

 

[Rhino]

roddick did better than I expected.

 

[cucio]

Sick crosscourt backhand of doom to put an end to the agony. No contest.

 

[cucio]

Querrey and Ferrer will play the dead rubber, best 2 of 3. I think they should have let Almagro play it, so he gets more experience and to foster team spirit, but the crowd is not complaining.

The announcer said in 20 minutes, right after the end of Nadal's match.

 

[veroniquem]

This match actually showed how talented Querrey is. Roddick got swept off the court by the clay monster!!

well its on but its Feli not Ferru.

Not that I dont appreciate watching Feli

 

[cucio]

That's what the announcer at the bullring said right after the other match, so it must be a last minute change. The crowd clapped after hearing David's name.

 

[BlueSapphire]

There was no way Ferru was going to play this dead rubber. He's leaving for Beijing tomorrow. So is Verdasco, for that matter. So it makes sense to just send Feli out there. It's not like the result matters any.

I know amazingly tough schedule for those who are going to beijing.
Feli stands a fairly good chance anyway he was the one in good form yesterday.

It wouldnt shock me if Querrey was the 2nd ranked or even top ranked American next year. He is clearly on the rise, and at the stage where he is still improving, which Roddick and Blake try as they may, will have a very hard time doing at this point.

 

[Cloudy]

I genuinely think Roddick is done. The game has risen past his level

 

[Cyan]

Even a bagel for Roddick... ouch..... First time Andy eats a bagel in Davis Cup...

 

[Deleted member 3771]

Roddick gets to go home with a souvenir.

 

[Cloudy]

Querrey Lopez is actually a quite entertaining match

 

[Nadal_Freak]

Nadal never plays his best in the first round in any tournament. No surprise he didn't play his best against Querrey. It would be shocking if he didn't play much better against Roddick though. I expect a beatdown of massive proportions.

Like I was saying.

 

[veritech]

Like I was saying.

roddick is more susceptible on clay than querrey. roddick's game does not fit on clay at all, as opposed to querrey, who is more comfortable. and nadal's type of game just murders players like roddick.

Congrats on post # 666.

Agreed. Querrey is one of the few players that can trouble Nadal anywhere. Davydenko and Ferrer (when on) are 2 others.

Yeah, Querrey can always load up that forehand. It's been a while since Roddick could do the same.

I saw the first set... as the score indicates it was dead even. Lopez played great in that tiebreak tho.

yeah it was pretty close. they both had some spectacular shots. but it seemed so boring for some reason. maybe it was because it was a dead rubber.
