I am not a huge tennis fan, but the men's final is shaping up to be one hell of a final. Federer is going for the major record and Rodick is giving him everything he can handle. Currently in the fifth set 10-9 Federer, but Rodick is on serve.

mavspwnage · 07-05-2009, 11:57 AM

yep, I'm definitely watching. 11-10. I can haz epic match nao?

chumdawg · 07-05-2009, 11:59 AM

They set a record at 67 games for most games ever in the mens final. Roddick hasn't been broken all match. He broke Federer twice.

These guys both have the heart of Marcin Gortat!

True dat

13-13 all

nonody gets break points here, this must be one of the most boring epic matches ever played. Just serve and done.

mavErika · 07-05-2009, 12:16 PM

Roddick had two when it was like 7-7, but since then nothing. It looks like they could go on like this for a while.

That's crazy.

mavspwnage · 07-05-2009, 12:32 PM

Damn that sucks.

Anyone else thing though that when Roddick had advantage, his shot on the baseline was in? I was shocked it didn't get reviewed. If it was in, that was game Roddick.

mavErika · 07-05-2009, 12:39 PM

And Federer converts the first break point he got in the entire set(match?) for the Championship. This guy is so incredibly cool-headed and usually it's a beauty to watch him play. Gotta love him!

Roddicks serve was still incredibly strong in that 30th game of the set, he just made one error too much and Federer converted instantly.

Game time was like 4h 15 min, right? That's why usually I don't watch much Tennis either.

I can't remember that play but if so I think it's always the player who has to ask for a review. If he doesn't have the right to challenge left because he used it too often (I don't know the exact amount), I guess the call just stands.

The double break point Roddick let get away is what cost him. That was during a moment in the match in which Federer was struggling just a bit.

Still and all, hell of a match by Roddick.

bernardos70 · 07-05-2009, 01:19 PM

Game was 13-13 and Roddick cranked out a 136mph serve. This guy can outserve one of those training serving machines for hours on end.

Congrats to Fed on his 15th slam. Roddick was serving amazingly throughout the match but Fed finally broke him.

horse900703 · 07-05-2009, 02:45 PM

Wow, what the match. Congratulation to Roger with his 15 Major title.
I feel bad for A-Rod, he did play his best tennis today. Good Luck Andy!

CadBane · 07-05-2009, 03:10 PM

51 aces for Fed is crazy. Easily Roddick's best match ever, he played amazing. You could see his pain after he lost.

chumdawg · 07-05-2009, 04:13 PM

That was almost like a heavyweight fight.

TheMaverick · 07-06-2009, 09:33 AM

F Fed

92bDad · 07-06-2009, 11:51 AM

A-Rod played one great tournament and I am hoping that he takes this and builds from it.

He's one of those guys that is fun to watch and fun to root for!!!

I was bummed with Roger won ... I can't stand the guy and my apologies to those that do, but I am NOT happy he's at 15 Majors.

A-Rod is my favorite Tennis player and as classy as A-Rod is over the defeat, as a fan...it freakin SUCKS!!!

But over all, it was fun to watch...this was Power versus Power!!!

nikeball · 07-06-2009, 11:57 AM

ROGI the GOAT.

but.. A-Rod made a fan out of me yesterday. If he continues to play like that, he will get his second major in no time at all.

Federer is the most annoying champion we've had in the last 25 years.

Five-ofan · 07-07-2009, 05:56 PM

woah woah woah, whats with all the fed hate? Hes pretty easily the best tennis player ever. Huge props to andy for both playing extremely well and being incredibly classy after the match. As for fed whats left to say about him? 16 of 17 slam finals in a row, 3 of the last 4 majors after he was supposed to be done and the 4th being a five set loss in the finals. His 21 straight slam semis is one of if not the most impressive records in sports. Hes better at tennis than tiger is at golf and we dont get the "im tired of tiger" talk.
