If the conditions don't cool down, I am afraid that the djoker will collapse, ala cinci.

Roddick has some anger management issues that need to get resolved or his game will pay the price.
I love A Rod but the drama and distraction about which foot caused the footfault is troublesome.
2010 U.S. Open: Andy Roddick, Ivan Ljubicic, Tomas Berdych upset; Sam Querrey, Andy Murray, John Isner advance - ESPN

He missed his second serve for a double-fault and then continued to harangue the official, at one point making a reference to "1-800-Rent-a-Ref."
"In hindsight, did I let it go too far?" Roddick said at his news conference, repeating a reporter's question. "Probably."
The lineswoman was not on court at the start of the fourth set, when Roddick was called twice more for foot faults. He did not put up a fight at all on those and at his news conference made clear that he wasn't upset by the initial call -- just the right-vs.-left issue.
"I just expect my umpires to know the left foot from the right foot," he said.
All in all, however, Roddick said the whole episode "had zero impact on the match."

Its truly a relief to see a young American (just turned 18) Ryan Harrison upset a seeded player, Lubjicek, yesterday.

He's (Harrison) considered one of the top young U.S. players and is the first American male teen to beat a top 20 opponent at a major tournament since a 19-year-old Roddick knocked off No. 11 Alex Corretja at the 2001 U.S. Open. Before that, you need to go all the way back to 1991, when a 19-year-old Michael Chang beat No. 17 John McEnroe in New York -- although by then, Chang was already a Grand Slam champion, having won the 1989 French Open at 17.

yea, djokovic didn't look good his first rd, agree with you there that the weather is having a big impact on him...

and im really am sick of Roddick, not just cause he is bowing out early, but that match proved he just didn't seem to care in the beginning, and the only reason why he finally got amped up was because of the foot fault, I've heard he's a dick off the court, and this kinda proves it.

surprised how dead this thread as been, i miss you guys :(

 

[BB73]

Nadal has a nice path to the final, since Murray and Berdych have been knocked out. Federer has to face Soderling in the qtrs, and his half also has Djokovic, who has returned to form and looked great against Fish.

Having fun with the Tennis Channel hey. Federer looked very good last night and I really can't see anyone beating him. I can't understand why nobody at the beginning of this tournament picked Nadal to win it all except for my dear wife:)
