Roddick Wins

Sorry, couldn't think of anything more creative for this. Could have gone for something patriotic, I guess, but fuck that.

Anyway, pretty stunning stuff from Roddick. One of, if not the best match I've ever seen him play, against an on form Andy Murray, at Wimbledon. Pretty big stuff. Considering that it wasn't that long ago that Roddick seemed to really be falling off, it's a pretty brilliant resurgence. Semis at the Australian, a best ever finish at the French, and now his fourth Wimbledon final.

He'll obviously be the underdog, but Roddick has never seemed more likely to beat Federer. Or, perhaps more accurately, less likely to get his ass kicked. It will be fun to watch, no matter what, as Roger (who beat Haas in three sets today) goes for his record 15th grand slam.

Roddick's victory means that there's an American in every major Wimbledon final. Men's singles (Roddick), women's singles (Williams sisters), men's doubles (Bryan brothers), women's singles (Williams sisters). It will be interesting to see how this form carries over to next week's Davis Cup quarterfinals in Croatia, on clay.
