Goodnight, Andy: Roddick Falls at Australian Open

Well lets head down under to see where top American Andy Roddick ran out of ways to vent his anger. He yelled at the umpire, screamed at the Aussie fans, and broke a few rackets.

But on a good note he broke off 42 straight aces which is unbelievable, but it was still not enough to beat 24 year old Philipp Kohlschreiber. This was a 5 set match that Roddick was most likely favored to win in just 3. Other then the 42 aces in a row Roddick also put up some great numbers, only had 3 double faults and made 72 percent of his first serves.

If I were a betting man I would have definitly bet Roddick to win this match easily and set up for a nice quaterfinal match with Nadal which again I think he might have won but we will never know. Roddick came into this Grand Slam the highest he has been since his 2003 US open win, he led the US to there first Davis Cup win since 1995 and then won the Aussie Open tuneup event. So this loss comes as a big surprise to some people but not many.

What can you expect from American tennis players now a days. They can not really do much anymore. There are only two American players that even have a chance to beat Roger Federer, Roddick and James Blake, but the only way they have a chance is if Fed plays blind folded. I think Roddick is something like 1-8 agansit Federer. Not to promising for the American fans. So what is next for American tennis, not to much I would say. But hey thats why I am a huge Roger Federer guy.

Now with the EDUCATED FREE SPORTS PICK OF THE DAY, were going to do something a little different…take FEDERER to win the Aussie Open. BELIEVE IT!
