Come on now... enough about Sharapova. ;) Where's the love for Roddick who is really kicking butt now that Jimmy Connors is his coach? Tomorrow's Men's Final should be very interesting.

Yeh, it's great to see Jimmy over there on the side. He's quite a character. Here's betting Jimmy can still play a little tennis.

And you're right, Roddick has improved quite a bit with Jim by his side.

Connors has certainly helped Roddick. But I can't really see any way Andy can beat Federer, who is the greatest tennis player I have ever seen. If he does, then he deserves it.

I think Federer will win in four sets.

I don't normally watch tennis but I happened to catch Roddick vs Hewitt. I don't know who he's facing in the final (probably Federer) but he better come up with something on his backhand besides a cut shot.

Other than that, he looks awesome

What's to love about Roddick? He's become Sampras - boring to watch. Watching him and Hewitt play was like watching Pong. No semblance of human beings but rather to computer generated players hitting from the baseline.

I agree and I'm PO'd that Mr. Tiger Woods was sitting in Roger Federer's corner. As far as I'm concerned, Tiger should have been supporting his fellow American, Andy Roddick.

Tiger came across to me as a petty snob. Tiger has the personality of a cipher. Andy is fallible, but human. Tiger is boring.
