Side note. Roddick has a disgsuting attitude. From his yelling at umpires and line judges, to smashing rackets, to the way he speaks to announcers. If it were Serena the media would have torn her apart. Wait a minute- they have.

Double standard.

@teejay1618 Sorry, being a Chinese. What I could make comment on your words is. In our culture, we ignore the people who behave bad or not good. I don't care what he said there because that is not the place where I was. I just do my job and finish it. So he won't make me look dull and rude because it is all about him, not me.

@micoyeung Well, not everyone of them. I do believed part of them do not have well training course before started their job. I find the source of the question and figure why did he asked that question. In Chinese culture, asking a player on these retire issue means that players don't have to give any answer or they can ignore the reporter by saying I don't like your question. However, he is certainly have no idea this will be hurtful in American culture. Therefore, I think they will do better.

@oanunkor just hold up there mate. Roddick has called umpires and linesmen stupid, but he's never threatened to shove a ball down someone's throat, let alone shook his racquet at a person threateningly. I think you're overlooking a pretty fucking big gap between their behaviour.

@MrRyanccm Chinese reporters are pretty rude today. They want u to make a bad reaction to make news.

@Likeafoxow Reporters have the way to asking question. Being an international player, Roddick shouldn't leave to show his anger, but stay and finished other people's question.
