Roddick vs Malisse

[oscar_2424]

i think the Xman might pull the upset here

 

[edmondsm]

Possible, but Mallisse is going to have to play alot better then he does 95% of the time. Roddick in straights.

 

[MajinX]

roddick just reached the final of his last appearance and is starting to change his game around hopefully for the better and did win r1 losing only 4 games... and roddick has a 7-0 record against him... theres actually not much that suggest roddick would lose this particular match.

 

[Brutus]

Roddick 3 zip.

 

[baseliner]

Roddick in straight sets. New commitment to the game. Lost weight at request of coach. Believe Roddick makes the 2nd week-as opposed to 2008 when I do not believe he made it past the 2nd round of any major.

 

[Fedace]

Mallise has the game to beat Roddick but does not have the Brains.

 

[norbac]

I can't see Roddick losing 'till the fourth round or quarters.

 

[veroniquem]

Roddick easily.

 

[NickC]

Roddick in 3 or 4. Professor X has the game, and the talent, easily, but not the head. Shame he never developed the mental game to go along with the rest of his game. He would have been something.

 

[TheMusicLover]

Roddick in straights.

3rd round AO and quarterfinal at US OPEN

Roddick will manage to win this one but Malisse is one of those dangerous floaters that seeded players hate to see at early rounds.

If he (Malisse) is able to keep his head cool, i think it will be 4or 5 sets. If he had a good mentality a few years ago i think he was able to be a good top ten player.


Offcourse he's a from Belgium so i vote for him

COME ON MALISSE

 

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

Malisse has a chance of making this match competitive, but Roddick will come through in straights. Hopefully it might be entertaining nevertheless. :neutral:

 

[Fedace]

Why does X-man break down mentally when he is about to win a major or gets in deep into rounds.

 

[fgzhu88]

interesting to see if rather than a Roddick Kohlschreiber rematch we see a Malisse Santoro 5-setter!

 

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

Why does X-man break down mentally when he is about to win a major or gets in deep into rounds.

Malisse has never won a major or even been in a slam final, I remember he was in the semifinals at Wimbledon, but had breathing problems against Nalbandian. Injuries and inconsistency has been his downfall.

 

[oscar_2424]

u never know, maybe Malisse plays like crazy tonight and wins

 

[tacou]

Roddick.

US eastern, this should be what around 1 or 2am? can't wait.

 

[fps]

Ah Malisse. He was the reason we headed to court 3 one year at wimbledon. that and being able to look over on to court 2. predictably he got injured and had to retire i think it was him...

 

[aceroberts13]

I think Roddick will take it in 4.

 

[quest01]

Roddick will crush Malisse straight into oblivion, which basically means Roddick will prevail in straights.

 

[NamRanger]

Has this match started yet? Any streams?

 

[djokster]

Has this match started yet? Any streams?

it's on after the nalbandian match which just went on...so give it about 2 hours

 

[mrDamien]

Mallisse need to overcome his nerve to beat the American. Mallisse in 4th.

 

[veroniquem]

Roddick of course.

 

[oscar_2424]

we'll have to wait a couple of hours, Nalbandian is playing...

 

[RickX]

X man in 4... he's looking pretty solid, and cruised through the qualies.

Yeah, Safin and Malisse in 4 :???: Nice predictions you got going there, especially considering their H2H's.

 

[rubberduckies]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think tournagrip looks really ugly on Roddick's racquet?

 

[mdjenders]

malisse rocking the exo3 graphite!

No disrespect to Roddick, but I watched Malisse and Roddick play their first round matches and I think Malisse is stronger from the ground than Roddick is... so I think he's going to get the upset.

Ofcourse I could be wrong... but that's why they call it a "prediction" !

 

[Ambivalent]

Roddick's forehand looking poofier and softer than ever.

 

[kairosntx]

What will Roddicks Ace count be? 5 already.

 

[AAUS]

Mallise's game impresses me everytime I see it with how effortless every stroke looks and then the forehand itselt, it just looks like such a huge weapon when he hits it

You are right there i think. Just look at both guys technique, i just love Malisse groundstrokes way much more!!!Malisse is better in the rally's but for the moment Roddick is serving (too) well.

 

[grimmbomb21]

Roddick's forehand looking poofier and softer than ever.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think so. He has had a few chances now to rip a winner to the open court but throws up a loopy fh instead. wtf? I thought his coach was fixing that.

 

[Ambivalent]

Point proven at 40-15 3-3

 

[Kuub]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll yeah x-man rocks

 

[IvanAndreevich]

What a lucky half assed frame volley to get the break hehe.

 

[NamRanger]

X-Man is going to win this if Roddick continues to hit 45 mph loopers that even I can hit winners off of.

 

[oscar_2424]

did u see that!!!!!!!!!!!! X-man rocks!

 

[kairosntx]

ATP website says Malisse plays with a Diablo Tour, but that looks like a POG doesn't it? Anyone know?

 

[oscar_2424]

What a lucky half assed frame volley to get the break hehe.

its pure raw talent.

 

[oscar_2424]

Roddick is going down.

 

[oscar_2424]

it seems he changed it this year.

 

[oscar_2424]

Malisse up 5/3.

 

[Kuub]

The Diablo was his previous racket , i think he changed...
