2009 Men's Wimbledon Finals!

I watched the entire match. When Roddick was up 6-2 in the second set tie break, I thought he was going to win fairly easily. Federer won the next seven points & I was sure he would cruise the rest of the way.

I feel bad that Roddick wasn't broken until his final game & then lost. He played like a true champion-- hopefully a level of play he can sustain & possibly live up to the immense promise he's at times shown.

Realistically, he BARELY lost to the man who now holds more Grand Slam titles than anyone in history. That's pretty impressive.

All that said, I wish Nadal could've played.

Yeah this match was so intense it woke me up! lol...
Roddick seemed really disappointed in himself when he received his trophy, I guess he worked real hard to get to where he is now but it should not stop it and I remember hearing him say I'll be back. I think he's more determined than ever now! Hopefully he'll show his talent at us open another court he excels on! And yeah it was a real shame when I heard Nadal got tendinities on his knee...

I've played most of my life, but I've never attended a match (other than watching other people play in tournaments I played in).

I'd love to go to any of the majors, but I especially would like to visit Roland Garros for the French Open.

Nice did you play college tennis?
I played high school and I won the leagues and states titles.
I was ranked 4th at 2nd singles in bergen county. I'm currently training for a tournament coming up next month in my area! I think I'm going to try to play college tennis.

No, I didn't. I quit my high school team (got in a big argument with the coach, told him to **** himself, etc.

), & was more worried about playing soccer.

I got to college & played a little with my room mate (my neighbor growing up who had a court), but then got busy & got a job.

I've played sporadically over the past few years, but it hasn't been until recently that I've really picked it back up to where I'm playing at least three times a week. I'm just getting back to a level where I feel I'm good enough to maybe play in some tournaments. There's a pretty low key league here that I may join & see how I fair.
