J.A.'s Bio

Today on Centre Court at Wimbledon an epic match transpired between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. It extended to five sets and in the end Roger Federer stood the winner 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14.

No one deserved to lose this match, especially not Andy Roddick.

In the end the true winners were those watching live or on television - they watched another classic match at Wimbledon.

The telling stat was that Roger served 50 aces and Andy served 27. More on the match to follow!

Federer now holds 15 grand slam championships - more than any man...

    I think the outcome of today's wimbledon final calls for a celebratory poem!!!! :-) (But credit to Roddick, wow, the guy played an awesome match and I really felt for him there at the end - was sooo close.)

    It's nighttime here in Korea and the matches have just started. Since they will impact the power rankings, I will probably not publish them until morning, meaning Monday night for you. It probably won't make much of a difference, right? I mean, CBS is probably not going to use them.
