Wimbledon finals

Andy Roddick, you played an outstanding match. I have watched you for many years and was pleased to see you win with Murray an outstanding match you have come a long way, WOW what a differance. Watching you today with Roger you matched him blow for blow and were just as deserving but luck was on the other side of the net. Please do not get down on yourself remember last year it was Roger in your shoes. I believe you are ready and can see you next year walking off with the cup. You were both out there each trying to get a different first. It was a new Roddick out there but the same gentleman that puts you in the league with players like Roger and Nadal - it was truly a pleasure to watch you play. Congratulations on your wedding, a new life and deffinately a new step in your carreer.
