[From Tennis Australia Weekly Report Jul.6] Few expected the men's singles final at Wimbledon 2009 to live up to the gift that was the 2008 final. It did. Roddick surprised Federer in the opening set, first sticking with him all the way then snatching the set from under the second-seed's nose. Drama followed in the fiercely contested second set, which went to a tiebreak. Roddick raced to a 6-2 lead and was on the verge of a shock two sets to nil lead. What happened next will haunt the American for decades to come. Federer reeled off the next 6 points to take the tiebreak 8-6 as the hapless Roddick watched on in horror. It looked as if Federer would run away with the match from here. The Swiss took the third set but Roddick struck back in the fourth to square the ledger at two sets apiece. The fifth and final set would create history in more ways than one. The pair clashed for more than four hours and gave us the longest ever deciding set in a Wimbledon final - 30 games and 95 minutes of unrelenting tennis. Eventually~However~someone had to give, and it turned out to be Roddick. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (举杯敬网坛A-Rod) 带着淡淡的哀伤结束昨天的七盘大战之前，我以为我从来不会到Roddick板po文 以前的我总认为Roddick在2003成为年终球王带有 捡到、运气成分居多 也因为美网大会的吹捧有点过度，Roddick是我最不喜爱的网球员。 不过一切在这次温布顿改观，从八强到决赛，稳定耐抽又能抗压的Roddick打出了新境界 虽然我是Federer的球迷，不过第一次我想预祝Roddick早日拿下个人第二座大满贯 -- 《谈理想很简单，可是要实现却很难。 所以不管何时，你都必须要拼尽全力才行。 当然结果有好有坏，偶尔你也会犯错吧！至少你对你自己是诚实的。 然後，朝向着自己所描写的梦想前进。并且努力的生活！ --
