Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Cilic wins the first set 6-3 in this round of 16 match. Murray is breaking his HEAD racquets.

Murray looks to be in trouble already down a break in the second set. And then blows three break points that would have gotten it back for Andy.

And another break. 4-1 Cilic in thesecond.

Wow Cilic had set point at 5-1 and ends up losing the set 6-7 in the breaker. Horrible.

Del Potro increasing in strength in the second set. Takes second set breaker.

Del Potro breaks in the fourth and looks to be in control.

Roddick saves match point at 5-3 in the fourth. Del Potro will serve for it.

Andy misses a cross court backhand. Is down 0-30.

0-40 now after a brilliant Del Potro pass. Triple match.

It's over.

To be Roddick or To be Federer?

This question is getting at a pretty obvious conflict: professional success or sexual success. And I thought the answer would be an easy Federer. But the more that I thought about it, the more I leaned Roddick. Sure Fed's won everything in the tennis world and will go down as the greatest ever. But have you seen Brooklyn Decker? And Mrs. Fed is bringing literally nothing to the table. Like I wouldn't bang her. Hanging Fed out to dry like you read about. Making dude really look bad. But it's really his own fault.

Brooklyn is the wild card here. Anything less and this would be another Federer victory. Stupid hot.
