Nothing special really from Troicki.Roddick with lots of UE and crappy shots
Roddick will never shut up, you all whine about him more than he whines.
Roddick smokes him in the second, I hope you're all crying.
Calling someone out on consistently acting like a jerk to your fellow human being is not whining.
It is because he's just playing a sport, which many of you forget. Just because it's an individual sport doesn't change the fact that he's competing. You can't hold him to how he acts on court, you may not like it but a lot of people seem to actually hate Roddick as if he bullied them all through junior high.
He's just an athlete.
Yes, but I am sure he is not getting bombarded by fans to sing autographs. It's still a new thing for him. So win or lose he's going to do it.I love Viktor. He graciously lost and still goes to sign autographs to the kids. Not many others do this. Nice play by Viktor.
Congrats to Andy and his fans.
Roddick just probably hit the shot of the tournament at 5-4 second set. Unbelievable single handed bachand flick, as he was running chasing a ball benhind him. Class!
Good win for Roddick!
So because he's playing a sport he can act however he wants? That simply makes no sense and is merely an excuse. Plenty of tennis players deal with the ups and downs without baselessly ripping on people who have nothing to do with their own problems. I think that is one thing that should be made clear...Roddick's losses and problems are HIS own fault. They are not the linespeoples, nor the umpire's faults. Yet he yells, curses and throws belligerent fits as if they were.
This is disgusting behavior that should not be tolerated. The umpire merely informed him that the hawkeye had a problem when he wanted to make a challenge so the original call had to stand. After the game (which he won anyway!) he just sat there and verbally abused the umpire. It wasn't even an argument! He just went off on the umpire, ripping on him for something that had absolutely nothing to do with him.
So the excuse is "but he plays singles tennis"? I don't buy into that, not one iota. Roddick acts like an @$$ for no good reason, and that's just the bottom line.
you don't have to like him as a player but don't act like you have the right to judge him as a person.
Still, Roddick is way more rude. :twisted:
Tennis is declining in popularity in the US only, not the whole world.
And the reason for declining popularity in the US is that instead of great champions and characters like Sampras, Agassi, Courrier, McEnroe, Connors, ... you have someone like Roddick.
Yes, but at least McEnroe had a game. And he is not a jerk Roddick is.
Ain't that the truth. I've learned that TWer posters are far bigger whiners than any player currently on tour.Roddick will never shut up, you all whine about him more than he whines.
gj011 certainly is. :lol:Roddick smokes him in the second, I hope you're all crying.

No worries. He will lose against Tsonga or Federer, if not before.
