Federer was tentative mostly throughout the match. Andy was right about Roger having a tough time reading his serve for the first time ever. Either player deserved to win, and I would’ve been happy for Andy even if I was rooting for Roger to make history. And I was definitely happy to see Roddick in the finals instead of the other Andy; not because the other Andy has a better head-to-head record vs Roger, but because I can’t stand watching Murray’s passive wait-for-your-opponent-to-make-errors kind of game i.e. inday-inday style in Visayan lingo. As one TV commentator aptly put it: Murray is the best “playoffs player” but falters in the major championships.

Im an RFed fan but I think Andy deserved the win… As vijay said it, Roddick was the better paleyr. But then again, Rog was awaful and yet Andy couldnt capitalize eek

i thought roddick’s going to make one of the biggest TSAMBA in tennis but as usual when his service leaves him, his game goes kaput…

lacks the excitement of last year’s final. I guess those who were covering the game were just too polite to fall asleep over this game. it was like, kaboom, ace. kaboom, another ace. kaboom and there goes another ace. roddick’s should be thankful that federer was error-prone that night otherwise the score will not be as close.

i opted to save on my electricity when the score was 7-6 in favor federer, fifth set. by then, i knew that roddick’s serve will eventually fail him. why? federer looks ready for another set or two while roddick appears to be wobbling

Only 3 serves broken between the two players. Match gave me a headache. Was shorter than last year’s final but seemed way longer.

Was that Gavin Rossdale next to Mirka? I haven’t heard the name Nastase in a long while and haven’t seen the face even longer. Looked almost as ancient as Sampras.

The chokes, the wasted breakpoints, the backhand shanks, the short approach shots, the tentative forehand… It was an awful match, but I’m happy Federer managed to get through. His serve saved his ass yesterday.

Second set tiebreak, 6-5, high backhand volley — a moment that will haunt Roddick for quite some time.

I may have caused that long amazing fifth set. I kept jinxing Brooklyn instead of Roddick. Worked, but I had like a million heart attacks before it did. Must stick to old practices.
