Not the umps fault Roddick decided to not play the ball....Roddick saw the ball land in, by a long shot at that, and should've played it ASAP instead of watching it go by him and instead of assuming Philipp was going to accept the out call. Don't assume bro, take the safe route and hit the ball, esp after it was clearly in.
if i was in the chair and was spoken to like that (and I could care a less who it was), i would have jumped down off that chair and spear-tackled the guy............and then i would have bent him over in front of everyone!
So what if he is passionate, I thought it was funny. Even though he hasnt won alot of major torunaments, he is still a good player or he wouldnt have been ranked top 10 to the idiots that say he sucks. Almost all the popluar/good tennis players argued and showed emotion all the time and it made tennis more fun. Oh well, welcome to the age of "if you do not agree do not say anything or you will be boo'd off the court".
@alerom23471 Nobody makes a big deal about Roddick outbursts. He's white and he's a man so it's totally okay and forgotten about the next day when he does it!
this guy is totally justifyable in his actions... heck i kick and scream and bully and spit the dummy out when i have to go work my lame ass job everyday- oh wait no... i'd get sacked if i did that. Grow up mate
Wow, lost some respect for Andy here. Umpires shouldn't have to put up with this. They get treated like garbage by these prima donnas. That needs to change.
@JWGames Nah. That's what they're paid to do. If you sign up to be a ref of any kind, you know that's part of the deal going into it. If you don't wanna take stuff like this from people, you choose a different profession - plain and simple.
@GWOSAPAT Umm 1 US Open, 5 ATP Masters Series Titles, 30 ATP Titles overall, been in the Top 10 for 10 something straight years. Also he has made 4 other GS Finals, made 4 other ATP Masters Series Titles, been #1 in the World, won Davis Cup but i guess thats not good enough for u. I mean the dude did all this with really minimal tennis talent.
roddick is a dick, full stop. Things werent going his way at the time (2 sets to 1 down) he clearly was in the wrong by not playing at the ball anyway than treats the umpire like a moron with his smart alec attitude, Very nice and humorous when he is winning, a deadset terrible loser when the shoe is on the other foot.
Christ ... Why on earth does this sport tolerate such a great amount of BS from the players? Andy is not the problem here. (I like him - he seems like a great guy to me, and I think people are extremely fast to judge athletes when they show negative emotions, which annoys me. It signals passion!) But the problem is that tennis is way too lenient. You actually have to threat the umpire to get a code violation, or what? Please - come on?!
andy isnt talented enough or focused enough to lose his temper and play well. he needs all of his energy and focus. he always seems to lose it when he is already losing or about to lose. its good to be colorful but its not cool to be an a-hole, a-rod.
@leighhawthorne oh geez *facepalm* lack of success? I was going to list the achievements of Roddick over the past 10 years, but realised people like you are not worth the time.
his frustration at his lack of success and skills (other than his serve) always lead to this pathetic spoiled childlike behaviour. he is an embarrasment to the game.
@leighhawthorne Jesus Christ. Tennis needs characters like this, instead of the staid, clinical robots that have dominated the sport for so long. Two things: 1) this is funny, and in no way profane (unlike Connors' or McEnroe's outbursts of the 80s and 90s) and 2) it's awesome. Lighten up.
@copiecool233 andy "one trick pony one slam wonder will do or say anything just to stay in the conversation since he can no longer do it with his tennis" is a talentless flash in the pan freak of nature fluke choke artist hasbeen never was never was gonna be schmuck!
@leighhawthorne Lack of skills and success? How about you search Wimbledon 2009 final and you'll see an amazing performance by Roddick. He's a former world no 1, a former US open champion and has been in 4 other grand slam finals against arguably the greatest in Federer...
Don't get me wrong, Roddick's behaviour is bad here but blaming it on the fact he's only won one grand slam is completely ludacris.
@13blanket really he is worth about 75 million makes about 10 million a year has Brooklyn Decker as his wife u sound like someone in some serious need of perspective on life my friend
behavior what wrong with his behavior ? why dont u mention the biggest crybaby on the tour and the biggest rulebreaker on the tour which would be the great Federer and the great mr. muscle steroid infused Ra Ra Rafa ???
@Mustardhead40 Yes and that money doesnt come from tournament victories, but from endorsments. He will be a one slam wonder. The only reason he had remained in the top 10 is because of his serve. And him being married to Brooklyn Decker has nothing to do with being awful with tennis and behavior on the court. Roddick cries and throws fits because he has trouble dealing with his own shortcomings, so he creates drama and blames that for his losses.
@13blanket lets face it guy u dont like him and thats kewl like whomever u want but your reasons are completely idiotic and shows me u have limited knowledge of tennis and sports in general. It doesnt matter how he made his money its through playing tennis not being an accountant. If i took Federer 's or Nadal's forehand away they would be lucky to be a top 50 player. Meeting Brooklyn was again via tennis not working at walmart. he acts out cause he is ultra competative and got be worth 75mi
@Mustardhead40 Really? I have bad reasons? You said that he is a good tennis player because his wife is Brooklyn Decker. You like roddick because he is american. But you critisize rafa and federer even though they are a million times better than roddick. At least my reasons are from facts unlike your pathetic reasons that have nothing to do with the game of tennis. I dont care how much he is worth. He is certainly not anything special when you compare him to other guys on tour. He is average.
@13blanket u are some dumb idiotic foreigner who hates America and Americans in general it comes through in each of your posts. U are a complete moron and ignorant. I said he met his wife from being a famous tennis player i didnt say he is good at tennis because of Brooklyn Decker - u have a major problem understanding the English language your reading comprehension is at the level of a 10 y/o . Average top 10 for 8 years thats not average - again u have no concept of competition
@Mustardhead40 First of all i am an american born and raised. Its just that the american tennis players arent the best at the moment. They were in the past. Umm either way Brooklyn Decker has nothing to do with tennis. And i am aware he has been in the top 10 for a while. I have a feeling that you are a southern redneck who drives a big huge truck with improperly proportioned wheels, while waving a confederate flag. And u havent gave any tennis analysis at all dumbass
@Mustardhead40 Roddick gets every ball back. Which is fine it is a good strategy. But you certainly cant put him up there with the all time greats. Not nearly. He only won one major, way back when. Also he needs to step inside the court and become more aggressive with his shots. His groundstrokes are to passive, he waits for people to miss. And the reason he complains about calls is because he is pissed that he is loosing, otherwise it wouldnt be the huge deal he makes it out to be.
@13blanket yea so i didnt put him up there with the alltime greats ? are u loon ? are u crazy ? u need to relax .
He will be inducted into the international hall of fame when he retires. You spelled losing incorrectly
the spelling is LOSING - he has every right to complain and for you to get inside his head and rationalize that he complain s when he is losing is very very arrogant on your part . Who do u think u are ? Are you a ATP Pro
@Mustardhead40 Americans will never embrace tennis. Just as we will never embrace soccer. All we can embrace is baseball where they pick their crotch and chew tobacco. I am not anti-american i just am realistic and realize that americans arent the best at everything as you may think. Also i dont care about my spelling at the moment because you are pissing me of with your stupidness. Who are you to judge, you spell you like u. Thats dumb
@Mustardhead40 Good he should be inducted into the hall of fame. He's been in the top 10 for a while. He just isnt one of the greats. He just lost at indian wells to gasquet. Another early loss.
@Mustardhead40 Look, american tennis players have a good sense of humor. Roddick is a player who is coming to the end of his career, and had mixed results during his career. He has good spots and then bad spots. He should have been one in the world for a while but he does not take advantage of what he has. Kind of like most american male tennis players. I support american tennis, it just has to start bringing in some good young players on both men and womens side.
@Mustardhead40 oh and if you took away rafas, federers, and roddicks forehand roddick would be outside the top 100. It doesnt matter what hes worth, just how good a tennis player he is.
@13blanket so whats your point ? i can take Federer forehand he would be ranked like 50 i take away Nadal forehand he would be ranked 80 i take away Roddicks serve he would be ranked 90 so again whats your point ?
u cant just take away the main weapon of a player then reevaluate his ranking and say he would be ranked not even in the top 100 - again sports just doesnt work that way why are u so stupid ?
@Mustardhead40 I understand that sports dont work like that. What i am really trying to get at is that with a serve like roddicks, he should be at the complete top, not hanging around 10. He just cant take advantage of what he has. And to answer your questions i like Federer, Mardy Fish (american), Del potro, and Davydenko. I cant stand murray, Nadal, Djokovic is okay. On the womens side i like Sharapova, Clijisters, Li na, Wozniacki is okay, Venus and serena, i dont know sometimes they're okay
@Mustardhead40 Oh and Federer is also a crybaby you are correct about that. But at least he has the credentials to do that. He has won tons of majors, and tons of tournaments. He is worth much, much more than Roddick. But he still does not act like a degenerate on court. He has self control. And Nadal, well i agree with you. I cant stand him.
@13blanket again guy they are all millionaires many times over all of them. Roddick will be in the tennis hall of fame in Newport when he is done playing. Roddick doesnt act like a degenerate that is blantant lie. He questions calls which has been going on since the beginning of time, u dont like him so u are piling it on. Seems like based on your comments u dont like anyone. Am i correct ? what are u a joker fan Berdych fan ?
@13blanket I THINK u have alot of shortcoming and see u as some sort of coward u wont admit u hate him and i had asked u who are your favorite player and i notice u have not answered my question so i conclude u are a chicken neck coward .
@Mustardhead40 I have no problem telling you who my favorite players are. I will also tell you why. You have not offered any reasons to justify your thinking except that roddick is worth a lot, and he is in the top 10. I DONT THINK YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TENNIS! do you even play? its fine if you dont. And you dont know me so you cant judge. But yes i do have many. And in a previous message i told you my favorite players. I just sent it
@heathirving Well now you kinda know the little bullshit Andy's gotta put up with from the umpires. It's natural, if the ump calls it out, you don't play it (That was Andy's argument)
@ArjunJethwa But I thought you said that defeaults rearely happen now. So if Roddick got defeaulted here, than Murray should have been defaulted in Paris when he hit the ballboy because Tim Henman did it before and got defaulted.
@Rafathaman94 Yeah, they rarely happen - thats not even relevant. Rare still means it still can happen, and in this clear case of abuse to the umpire he should have used his powers and defaulted him.
What Roddick did was on purpose, what Murray did was not.
@alerom23471 every match..?, you sure about that ...arod only get´s pissed off, when he really feel´s unjustified, he doesn´t get ticked off, about any little thing, maybe you´re just saying that, because you don´t like him..
He has talent in his serve for sure, probably the best server ever. (But it doesn't work on Federer) He also has in my opinion the best smash volley. By not having talent I mean he is slow, his movement and flexibility are sub par at best and his back hand is hard to watch. This is compared to the top 20 players that he beats on the regular thanks to that impressive serve. Give that serve to any top 20 player and you got a slam. Imagine Davydenko with that serve, wow!
he makes the game fun, he keeps the umpires in check, without people like him, tennis umpires would be like cops are today, power happy and crooked.
What people like about roddick is that he takes very little talent and has to work harder than anyone to win every match, thats why I like him, that and tennis interviews are absolutely boring without him, he has the best second serve, smash, and interview in the game of tennis!
umpire should have ejected his stupid ass. But thank god he didn't. it would have denied us the last 20 or so backhand winners from Kohlschreiber xD))
Okay Andy, I will speak slowly so YOU can understand me. "You gave up on the ball. You lose the point." Simple as that. To me, this is his legacy that I will always remember him by. An incredible pompous jerk who talks down to people. Even when he is so wrong. As the top ranked American, he is a disgrace of a representative with his condescending attitude. Can't stand humans that are like this.
the Umpire should also speak very slowly so Andy could understand him.
" if you were one foot from the ball and you saw the ball out you are as blind as you are arrogant ". " but at the end you gambled, and you lost , deal with it " Next time don't wish and hope, just play the ball and afterwards ask for a challenge like any professional tennis player would "
arguing is fine but roddick should have been warned after personally attacking the ump by calling him an idiot. and although what he said was funny, roddick really looked bad when he started yelling to the crowd.
Such an arrogant asshole.

@Mustardhead40 oh and if you took away rafas, federers, and roddicks forehand roddick would be outside the top 100. It doesnt matter what hes worth, just how good a tennis player he is.
13blanket 10 months ago
@13blanket so whats your point ? i can take Federer forehand he would be ranked like 50 i take away Nadal forehand he would be ranked 80 i take away Roddicks serve he would be ranked 90 so again whats your point ?
u cant just take away the main weapon of a player then reevaluate his ranking and say he would be ranked not even in the top 100 - again sports just doesnt work that way why are u so stupid ?
Mustardhead40 10 months ago
@Mustardhead40 I understand that sports dont work like that. What i am really trying to get at is that with a serve like roddicks, he should be at the complete top, not hanging around 10. He just cant take advantage of what he has. And to answer your questions i like Federer, Mardy Fish (american), Del potro, and Davydenko. I cant stand murray, Nadal, Djokovic is okay. On the womens side i like Sharapova, Clijisters, Li na, Wozniacki is okay, Venus and serena, i dont know sometimes they're okay
13blanket 10 months ago
@Mustardhead40 Oh and Federer is also a crybaby you are correct about that. But at least he has the credentials to do that. He has won tons of majors, and tons of tournaments. He is worth much, much more than Roddick. But he still does not act like a degenerate on court. He has self control. And Nadal, well i agree with you. I cant stand him.
13blanket 10 months ago
@13blanket again guy they are all millionaires many times over all of them. Roddick will be in the tennis hall of fame in Newport when he is done playing. Roddick doesnt act like a degenerate that is blantant lie. He questions calls which has been going on since the beginning of time, u dont like him so u are piling it on. Seems like based on your comments u dont like anyone. Am i correct ? what are u a joker fan Berdych fan ?

@13blanket I THINK u have alot of shortcoming and see u as some sort of coward u wont admit u hate him and i had asked u who are your favorite player and i notice u have not answered my question so i conclude u are a chicken neck coward .
have a nice day !
Mustardhead40 10 months ago
@Mustardhead40 I have no problem telling you who my favorite players are. I will also tell you why. You have not offered any reasons to justify your thinking except that roddick is worth a lot, and he is in the top 10. I DONT THINK YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TENNIS! do you even play? its fine if you dont. And you dont know me so you cant judge. But yes i do have many. And in a previous message i told you my favorite players. I just sent it

The chair umpire should be penalizing Roddick and taking away points from him for his behavior. No chair umpire should have to put up with that.

ArjunJethwa 11 months ago
@ArjunJethwa But I thought you said that defeaults rearely happen now. So if Roddick got defeaulted here, than Murray should have been defaulted in Paris when he hit the ballboy because Tim Henman did it before and got defaulted.
Rafathaman94 11 months ago
@Rafathaman94 Yeah, they rarely happen - thats not even relevant. Rare still means it still can happen, and in this clear case of abuse to the umpire he should have used his powers and defaulted him.
What Roddick did was on purpose, what Murray did was not.

He has talent in his serve for sure, probably the best server ever. (But it doesn't work on Federer) He also has in my opinion the best smash volley. By not having talent I mean he is slow, his movement and flexibility are sub par at best and his back hand is hard to watch. This is compared to the top 20 players that he beats on the regular thanks to that impressive serve. Give that serve to any top 20 player and you got a slam. Imagine Davydenko with that serve, wow!

he makes the game fun, he keeps the umpires in check, without people like him, tennis umpires would be like cops are today, power happy and crooked.
What people like about roddick is that he takes very little talent and has to work harder than anyone to win every match, thats why I like him, that and tennis interviews are absolutely boring without him, he has the best second serve, smash, and interview in the game of tennis!
wheelmanstan 1 year ago
@wheelmanstan With a serve like he has, things are made so much easier. I would argue that he has a lot of talent. His serve and forehand alone.

Okay Andy, I will speak slowly so YOU can understand me. "You gave up on the ball. You lose the point." Simple as that. To me, this is his legacy that I will always remember him by. An incredible pompous jerk who talks down to people. Even when he is so wrong. As the top ranked American, he is a disgrace of a representative with his condescending attitude. Can't stand humans that are like this.

the Umpire should also speak very slowly so Andy could understand him.
" if you were one foot from the ball and you saw the ball out you are as blind as you are arrogant ". " but at the end you gambled, and you lost , deal with it " Next time don't wish and hope, just play the ball and afterwards ask for a challenge like any professional tennis player would "
" Quit being a spoiled child . Is not nice ! "

arguing is fine but roddick should have been warned after personally attacking the ump by calling him an idiot. and although what he said was funny, roddick really looked bad when he started yelling to the crowd.
