obviously I was kidding around with you in a good-natured way. you take life too seriously, mate. look around and have some fun with life (cautiously extending olive branch)

Lol just keep your olive branch and maybe pleasure yourself with it. Do not let the texts on these boards mislead you, it is easy to mistake a statement when read, not said. No worries since I'm enjoying life and anything that goes on these message boards is done on a recreational manner. Thanks anyways and enjoy the basement.

Roddick would impress me if he actually went down to Mexico instead and worked on his clay court game. Oh wait, that's risky. No reason to get beaten in second round by a no-name dirt baller from Nicaragua...

it's much better to be the big fish in an aquarium, with all the attention that goes with it...

He plays in the US because there is a lot of pressure on him to support the events in this country and help them sell tickets. They start calling him (his agent) around the time of the USO to commit for the following season. Yes, it would be impressive for him to play different events, but that is not going to happen.

That's only a small factor in his decision. Main reasons that Roddick plays the U.S .events:

1. Hard Court is his best surface, best chance to win;
2. Less travel

And I have no problem at all with those reasons.

So it's fair to assume that Roddick is not going to progress as a tennis player. I don't think he made any progress in the past few years. So maybe avoiding bumps in the road and cashing checks is the right strategy for him to get the most out of tennis.

I guess obnoxious behavior is the only thing keeping him now on the radar screen of tennis fans.

I thought Andy's little dance move was rather robotic. But I thought it was clever and funny. lol

I think he has assessed his strenghts and weaknesses, and has realized he'll never win anything again on clay. Sound judgement in my view. Three to four years left in his career, he is what he is at this point. No sense in chasing some fantasy of improving on clay by playing some two-bit event in Mexico.

Roddick is hilarious. At Indy last year he hit probably the hardest forehand I have ever seen against Korolev I believe. He even said it was the best forehand he ever hit. Some fan in the stands yelled that will be on ESPN tommorow, then Roddick said no all ESPN does is talk about gambling, steroids, and dog-fighting but I love the enthusiasm
