| That's funny you say that because the joker would not reveal recently some new fitness exercises he added to his training schedule.It's a secret he said. |

| hahahahaha The way he is at the moment, anyone could take out DJokovic in best of 5 sets especially if it is a warm day. The serb really has poor conditioning. |

| I think he could take out Djokovic in a best of 5 sets match like the U.S Open.He proved it at the Australian Open and I actually saw Roddick take him out pretty easily in San Jose.Larry Stefanki has injected a lot of self belief and confidence into Andy's game without changing too much about A-Rod's style.I think the hip injury is a referred one probably from compensating for the twig he gave his ankle when he took that fall in the fourth set of the Wimbledon final I think it was.He will be fine and Federer will not beat him next time. |

| Yeah it sure is Zed. Also Roddick has said that he really doesn't care about the rankings, it's only the results that matters with him, which is a good attitude. I think if he continues his current form and recovers fast from his hip injury, he could go higher by years end. |

| Great to hear that Roddick has gotten some reward for his outstanding year so far.After Federer and Nadal,Andy Rodick would be the best performed player on the tour this year. |

2 The new oddick I supported against Murray
3 What I quote below were not my remarks but an article I made. So go screable your won eaggs. You have plenty on your face for all your comments of old |

| Del Potro has 500 to defend from Kitzbuhl then nothing to defend in either of the Masters so he will be back and he will also gets points for the DC just now |

| Also Djokovic and Murray has some big points to defend before the U.S. Open. If Roddick continues to have a good season , and Murray or Djokovic do not, Andy could reach top 4. |

hello..

Latest ATP rankings are out and Andy Roddick is #5 in the world, replaces Del Potro.
Anyone still thinks Roddick is past his prime ? |

I came across this today where it qoutes what Andy said about the match.
A very fair comment from a great macth. Comments that actually mean something rather than ZB's accusations about Federer cheating:
While the final was a on a knife-edge throughout, the one hour and 35 minute fifth set was a minor epic in itself with both Federer and Roddick serving relentlessly.
Roddick had a chance to seize the initiative when he held two break points at 8-8, but the Swiss snuffed those out with big serves. It was not until the American served at 14-15 that the breakthrough came, Roddick framing a forehand well over the baseline to give up his serve and the title.
It was a shattering defeat for Roddick who slumped into his chair, head bowed, after the match.
Almost as much as Roddick will regret losing the final game, he will rue missing a golden chance to go up two sets to love when he had four set points at 6-2 in the second set tie-break. After Federer saved the first two with big serves, Roddick had a straightforward backhand volley which he struck well wide.
But, if it seemed likely Roddick would buckle after that disappointintment, his serve remained unrelenting.
âAt that point, there are two options,â said Roddick. âYou lay down or you keep going. The second option seemed better to me.â
While a couple of sloppy shots in the third set tie-break proved costly for Roddick, he broke Federer at 1-2 in the fourth set and forced the match into what proved to be a nail-biting conclusion.
Roddickâs vast contribution to a gripping match was acknowledged by the crowd who chanted his name as he sat disconsolate in his chair and cheered him even more loudly than the winner at the presentation.
âIt showed that they appreciated what we did out there today,â said Roddick who said defeat had felt worse than his back-to-back finals losses to Federer in 2004-05. âIt was definitely a nice and appreciated gesture by them.â
If Federerâs ... |

You say argue the argument but you dont.. You make a comment and God help anyone who doesnt agree with you.. Are you aware that you do that Zed? You told tlf just the other day not to criticise a prediction you had made unless she had back up.. who on earth are to say that? Then you say argue the argument? You dont argue.. you tell people what they should think....
When you see a head kick it...
What an awful thing to think let alone say..
You often sound bitter... try to be nice Zed.
Cut down on the bad language
Stop the name calling
People will like you for it
You might like the feeling that ..people like and respect you... instead of the way they appear to feel at the moment.
Come on be a good person and clean yourself up and let us ALL enjoy these threads.
Dont spoil it for others... |

What makes you think we dont ALL want that on these threads? I came on here originally to read what others thought (but in a nice way).. you can be provocative in your opinions but you do it by namecalling, swearing etc. We have had this conversation before Zed.. Remember? You dont create chaos, you put peoples backs up I have noticed, theres a difference. Do you find that fun or acceptable? Where is the fun in that when (if you think about it) you can achieve the same rsponse from someone by being clever not offensive.
I said you appear to be intelligent enough not to have to be so offensive.
Some of the posters have left here and formed their own forum.. I wonder why?
Whatever the game we might discuss you will resort to rudeness.. that appears to be all you know.. and if you have a nice life, why do you have to be like that... I have fun with you by making comments to counteract whatever you say but I would rather be speaking nicely to you Zed... Dont know much I am allowed in one session so shall continue..... |

| I don't know about all you guys but I get on here to have fun and create some chaos.Of course I love to see if any of you are up for it but sadly very few of you have a sense of humour.Sushi and vince would be the exceptions.You really don't get it.The tennis is just a means to an end,it could be marbles,darts anything.It's the game.You have to play the game.Argue the argument til the death,don't give an inch,give credit where credit is due and when you see a head,KICK it. |

tlf
I have never sunk to the childs level
On the contrary I have never used abusive language
neither have I resorted to name calling
However, there is another old adage that says
Attack is the best form of defence
I understand your approach tlf BUT to defend him in any way..... as you did |
