venus to win,
purely cos serena looked well miserable in the mini interview before they came out.
maybe they already decided who would win

[DeathAdder]

You are joking, Serena's one fine example of the female form in my eyes.

I just looked at the first page of the results of a google image search for Serena Williams. She has a well sized and shaped pair of charleys, but apart from that, she's pretty 'orrible, IMO anyway. To each his own.

The feeling would probably be mutual, if she knew who the hell I was, although my tits probably wouldn't impress her that much. Glad she beat her far more hideous sister anyway.

Roddick is 1 set up, he looks comfortable out there. At the moment anyway.

[ShadowDancer]

Tie break. (2nd set)

[ShadowDancer]

Just wow. That is going to be a MASSIVE! body blow to Roddick. He was 6-2 up in the tie-break, he went on to lose 6 points in a row..just wow. Fed takes second set and its 1-1 and my body is shaking, that was amazing.

Very comfortable.

I am absolutely gobsmacked by the game. I thought it would be a Federer formality along with 99% of the rest of tennis fans.

That was as near to total capitulation playing by Federers standards as you will ever see. If he had lost that set it would have been almost certainly curtains. He has just played by the numbers without showing any of his magical genius.

Roddick i don't think is playing exceptionally, but his 80% first serve in stat is astonishing and thats been the difference.

That may well have broken Roddick and I think federer will pull his socks up now and win in 4.

[NemesiS]

Roddicks only chance now is to keep the same game plan and try and sneak a break like in the first or just try to get to a tie-break and win then.

I just don't think he will ever get closer to winning than being 6-2 up for the second set at the tie-break.

If Federer even gets close to finding his rhythm, Roddicks had it.

[Jebus]

That was insane, no chance on earth he shouldn't have been 2 sets up by now.

I really would like Roddick to win, he seems a lovely chap who would have won a lot more if Federer wasn't around,

[ShadowDancer]

Feel like his best chance has gone now. Hasn't lost a service game (just two tie-breaks) I definitely wouldn't call him second best and from a spectators point of view, a 5th set would be lovely. And in all honesty, I think Roddick deserves that.

[ShadowDancer]

Roddick has broken his serve, again.

[ShadowDancer]

5th set coming up. 2-2. This really is anybody's.

[Anpanman]

Yep, think Federer has missed a few opportunities on Roddick's serve.

[toythatkills]

5th set coming up. 2-2. This really is anybody's.

I dunno, Federer needs to break if he wants to win and he hasn't managed it yet...

This is Roddick's to lose.

[ShadowDancer]

He nearly broke Fed again. I do agree in a sense, this is Roddicks to lose. He is the only person that has broken a service game.

[ShadowDancer]

12-12 Epic.
