16-14? What happened to the tie breaker. This looks like the old scoring mode.

No tiebreak in the last set of Wimbledon.

Federer’s serve was just too much for Roddick in the final set, he didn’t even come close to breaking him.

Thanks, back in the old days, there was no tiebreakers. Imagine 5 sets, and having to win each set by at least 2.

Endurance was much more of a factor say in Laver's day.

What a heartbreaker for Andy Roddick! I wanted RF to win but was heartbroken for Andy...they’re both winners in my book! Hats off to Andy R. He played an awesome match!

I second that. I’ve been disappointed in him over the years, but today, he earned my respect 15 times over. I was really rooting for him.

xcellent match. I had somewhere to be at 2:00 today so I was wondering if I would get to see the end of the match. Great great match.
