Wimbledon 2009

Well the Mens Semifinals are set:

Federer vs Hass
Roddick vs Murray

For me this is one of the best Mens singles semis I can think of. I am a huge Andy Roddick fan and Hass and Murray are among my favorites. I also have huge respect for Federer both as a player and a person. This should be good!

Federer makes easy work of Haas to be the first into the finals! Should be a good match between Andy and Andy!

I would love to see Murray win this...being that he is from England and the "ordeal" with his hometown and all!!! Would be fitting since the UK has not had a Wimbledon Champ since like 1936.

I first have to root for Roddick! But if not Roddick I would love to see AM win...he is a class act too!

WildBlueSooner · 07-03-2009, 09:49 AM

Roddick takes the first set...Murray takes the second! This is gonna be a great match!

No, I understand...I am American but I have had to explain this to many people.
Also, these are my 2 favorite tennis players battling it out

the funny thing is if he wins he will be called a british hero but if he dusnt thay will just call him the silly scot that carnt play tennis lol

WildBlueSooner · 07-03-2009, 10:02 AM

Both players seem to be playing a bit conservatively at times, and rightly so! Roddick is getting behind in many of his service games, which is unusual to him. Murray however is looking a bit tired at this stage in the match...Roddick has been running him ragged.

Now that is funny!

WildBlueSooner · 07-03-2009, 10:06 AM

2 break points for Roddick...could be huge!

WildBlueSooner · 07-03-2009, 10:07 AM

WOW....great shot by Murray, that was close. One more break point for Roddick!

WildBlueSooner · 07-03-2009, 10:16 AM

Roddick broke and held serve...one more game and he will go up 2 sets to 1

WildBlueSooner · 07-03-2009, 10:39 AM

Murray broke back....6-5 Roddick, Murray serving to force a tie-break!

WildBlueSooner · 07-03-2009, 10:42 AM

3rd set tiebreak time!

WildBlueSooner · 07-03-2009, 10:53 AM

Roddick wins set 3! What an epic match!

It's absolutely absurd that NBC isn't showing this live.
