Every person who says roddick is a bad person for ripping on umpires is an idiot. Its a sport. People get hot, that's y its fun to watch. U would rather people stay quite and not show any emotion then this. Even federer has had many confrentations with the umpires, if u don't like players getting hot stop watching sports, ur to much of pussies to do so anyway

why didn't he play the shot? it had to bounce before it was wrongly called out - by which time it passed him. if in doubt you always play on - the opponent has Hawkeye challenge so you end up losing the point, as Roddick did here!

RODDICK IS A DICK!!!

It's one thing to show emotion - it's another thing entirely to try to belittle and humiliate someone, particularly when you are ignorant of the rules. The umpire 100% made the right call here, and that idiot Roddick's argument that he could have gotten the ball just confirms it, because if he could have gotten the ball but chose to let it go, then the call (which came after the ball went past him) couldn't have affected his ability to play. So the only idiot in this situation is Roddick.
