aus11123 agree 100%. Your serve is just a part of your­ game and if your are a professional you need to make­ each part of your game as good as you possibly can. ­ Roddick has this almighty service, he did one yesterday­ at 140 mph, now that is quick.

Great game though­ yesterday, we were lucky to such a great piece of­ entertainment and the other game was brilliant too.

daniel_ong77 may want to reconsider Roddick-Hewitt­ match and his issue with Roddick's use of Aces.­ Review the match from the point of view that two­ seasoned champions met on the Wimbledon grass and­ actually played an exciting game of solid tennis,­ something that doesn't often occur in the new-age­ tennis world of blood sport. Haas and Djokovic came­ very close too. Sorry there were no knee-bindings and­ wrist clamps on display to warm the cockles of your­ gladiator heart...just great mastry from both Hewitt­ and Roddick.

Nice one Stiffler!! I thought Stiffler had thrown it­ away at the end of the fourth, but looks like he had­ the staying power after all. Finally in this tournament­ a proper challenge for Murray -although Wawrinka (sp?)­ did work him very hard.

Go Andy! Go Andy! Go Andy! Go! Go! Go!
Andy­ who????
both of them.... because i'm after how they­ play tennis.
Ok...i will cheer for both of them.

GO­ UNDIES!!! GO UNDIES!!! GO UNDIES!!!

Post below? i disagree with people saying his serve is­ all he got...DISAGREE ROFL...

I was at Wimbledon yesterday and i got to see this­ match and Haas v Djokovich, they were both great games­ and it was a real pleasure to have a day of such great­ tennis.

Both these players are at the end of their­ careers now and I don't think either of them are­ gonna win any more slams. But Roddick's serve is a­ awesome weapon and Hewitt's doggedness is also­ great to watch. So we will see, I generally get my­ predictions wrong anyway. Just before Roddick broke­ the Hewitt serve in the 1st set I turned to my missus­ and said looks like a tie-break then!

I was a neutral­ but because it was such a close game I never went over­ to either player's side, which I normally do during­ match either live or on the TV.

A post below­ criticises Roddick saying all he is the serve. Well­ what a load of rubbish, bl00dy armchair experts.

#23, i disagree with you, hard serve is just a part of­ his game just like gonzo have a big forehand, u cannot­ say if he dont have that forehand he useless, LOL­ devine useless for me just for fun, Roddick made it to­ the semis and he already had some tough opponents where­ is serve doesnt work that well, so he played­ groundstrokes, not like Karlovic, hes an example of­ just serving and cannot play a point more than 5 shots­ so Andy is doing really well.
(boring - LOL than you go­ out and play with andy, i guess it would be 6-0 6-0­ 6-0, 36 aces is equal to 9 service games and he breaks­ you all the time so...) =]

otez83, Lleyton is one of the best returners in the­ world and if Andy had been playing many others he would­ have had even more aces. Big problem for Lleyton was­ his own serve
which was pretty awful at the beginning­ of the match and in the last set. Anyway it was just­ great to see Lleyton back to his old self after his­ 'op and proving that he's still a top 10­ player.

Roddick is useless without his serve 47 aces is about­ 12 games. thats a lot

Considering his injury at Queens,Roddick is playing­ some great tennis.There's more to his game than a­ huge serve,which he showed last night.Thanks to both­ him and Hewitt for giving the fans there and on TV one­ hell of a match to watch!!

no 23. actually for a big server Andy Roddick has a­ decent game, he also has a good forehand, reliable­ backhand and can run around the court at a good pace.­
the really boring servers are karlovic and well­ ivanisevic, who as you may recall actually won a­ wimbledon title by serving and then just standing there­ holding out his racket on the off chance that it might­ connect with a ball.

GOOD TO SEE THE IRRELEVANT,BAD LANGUAGE SLANGING­ MATCHES SEEM TO HAVE STOPPED AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT­ TENNIS AGAIN.
THE HEWITT/RODDICK GAME WAS EXCITING TO­ WATCH EVEN IF RODDICK'S ACES TOOK THE THRILL OUT OF­ RALLIES.
THE TWO ANDYS PROMISES TO BE A GREAT GAME BUT­ AS A BRIT I SHALL BE ROOTING FOR OUR ANDY.BUT WHATEVER­ THE OUTCOME HIS FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT..TIME TO RENAME­ HENMAN HILL TO MURRAYS MOUNT?

for otez83
I am really amazed with your analysis. I am­ actually now thinking which one I would choose. I force­ my body to do the mad run and the end of the day I only­ play tennis for 5 years but with 6 Grand Slam Title (as­ Nadal did). Or I do not force my body that much so I­ can play tennis for 10-11 years but end up with 1 Grand­ Slam Title only. It is very interesting for me to think­ about this :-)

stine147: I couldn't agree more with you. I'm­ also a Federer fan but I have a great respect for­ Nadal. He's a humble person and a great player. But­ since the first time I saw him play, I said to myself:­ this guy will have problems sooner or later because of­ the way he plays. Ok, he's young but the way he­ runs like a madman he must always be in great shape.­ Most of his game is about muscles and physical­ condition. And this has some risks. Some times the body­ can't take it and see what happened to him. I­ don't think we'll ever see Nadal as he has been­ so far. If he continues to submit himself to this­ physical effort every time he plays he'll get into­ trouble from time to time.

katy.hume, 45 aces to be more precise! That's­ remarkable but not all in a tennis match. Of course, it­ would be boring if a match were nothing but aces.­ There's something very important though. The number­ of aces also depends on the opponent's capacity to­ catch the serve. Had Roddick played against Federer and­ you can be sure he wouldn't have done so many­ aces. This leads to the question: will Mrray be able to­ fight against Roddick's aces? If he does he'll­ win, otherwise he'll lose.
