It is 2005 all over again, the old boys are back in the final!

Although Roger has never left but respect to ANDY RODDICK for putting up a brilliant performance to reach the Wimby final again. I'm so happy for him. Especially the way he ended the annoying Murraymania thats been going on ever since Queens.

COME ON ANDY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t74ZnaaxNO0

Roddick in a final?! That's impossible, he was part of an old weak era of chokers! How on earth could someone from the new super-talented era beat Roddick?!!?

Roddick defeats Murray
Haas defeats Djokovic
Ferrero defeats Simon
Hewitt defeats Del Potro

These old balls still bounce

I am just looking forward to the final on Sunday , it would be a very good/close match I reckon . Roddick definitely is playing some of his best tennis .......His forehand today had so much topspin and power !

Nice post!

And how arrogant of Federer and Roddick to think it is still their era and dare to play in the Wimby final when they are clearly past their primes.

For Gods sake it is supposed to be Murray's Wimbledon title and Britain's first in 71 years! How daring of Roddick and Federer, who do they think they are?!!

This Wimbledon implodes the "weak era" myth once and for all. That was the last leg the Hatas had to stand on.

His net game has shown the biggest improvement. Didn't think he was capable of some of the shots he pulled off today.

Unfortunately for A-Rod coming into the net vs Federer has been an utter nightmare. I see visions of Roddick being passed all day.

As opposed to for instance the AO final Roddick today came it at good shots where he had Murray stuck with a really tough passing shot. That's very different from his tactic at AO 2007 where he was just hitting blindly, approaching cross court all the time and coming in on every poor ball he played.

I hope that third time is not a charm.

Federer has 2x the charm, so don't worry.

In the past, yes. But let's see how his new improved net game works against Federer on Sunday.
