The others are fine though lol…No offense but those guys just need to get more consistent. Both still have a lot of potential especially Rodick with his serving ability.
Roddick is just too slow. Every time I watch him, the only thing I can think is he really is just a one trick pony. His backhand sucks, and his forehand is above average at best. If his opponent gets him on the run, he's toast.
To me, James Blake has more potential simply because he's more athletic, and it seems like all the top players are just great all around athletes. They're all quick and have more than one trick up their sleeve. [Reply]

I dont know if u noticed this last night (or whenever for u) but Roddick seems to give up on some balls way to quickly. [Reply]

I've seen him get rattled, but I've never seen him lose a match. I can't remember what match it was last year, but I remember him getting a little crazy at Wimbledon (or was it the US Open?).
It's like playing a computer on the ultimate highest difficulty. Beatable, in theory, but you're not going to do it more than once in your life. [Reply]

You've never watched him lose in the French Open?
Quite a match going on right now. He finally broke Tipserovic to go up 9-8 here in the 5th set, looks like he's going to win. [Reply]

I've never managed to catch a match where I've watched him lose. Of course I know that he's lost a match before :-) I'm just saying I've never watched it when it's happened. [Reply]
