Andy Roddick

By Peter Bodo Matches begin at 12 noon local time (7 a.m. EST) on many courts, and an hour later on the main show courts, Centre Court and Court 1. The first two featured matches on Centre Court involve defending champion Venus Williams against Stefanie Voegele, and Andy Roddick (in his first foray onto cou...

It seems as though we're in need of a new post, and I'll also use this opportunity to provide the links for my last two web galleries from Queen's Club - pictures from the semifinals can be...

By Peter Bodo Good morning all. I'll be attending the final at Queen's Club this afternoon between Andy Murray and James Blake. After cool damp weather earlier this week, yesterday was hot enough to leave me with sunburn, and today is expected to be similarly warm.

By Steve Tignor Rafael Nadal Tommy Haas Andy Roddick Andy Murray Novak Djokovic NBC Jimmy Jump In case you're not aware, this is the chosen name of the red-hatted dope who jumped Federer in the final. Creepiest moment in tennis history? It’s up there. Fortunately, it wasn't enough to ruin one of the best. F

By Peter Bodo Update as of 4.15 p.m. EST: I've now arrived home, and all is well technically. Therefore please use this link to access the web gallery from Thursday at Queen's Club - the photos should please fans of Andy Murray, Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, Gilles Simon and Mikhail Youzhny.

By Peter Bodo Good morning all. I said in yesterday's post that I'd picked up a cold - today you really don't want to know how I'm feeling. I've decided to stay home from Queen's Club to watch the tennis on TV, and... Good morning all. I said in yesterday's post that I'd picked up a cold - today you really don't want...

By Peter Bodo by Pete Bodo So, who among you is picking Andy Roddick to upset Roger Federer in the quarterfinals of the Madrid Masters event? Don't all raise your hands at once. All right, that's unlikely to happen: there's this little matter... by Pete Bodo

By Peter Bodo By Pete Bodo Any doubts I may have entertained about the intensity of the flame burning inside the cool exterior of Roger Federer were pretty much extinguished last night, in the wake of that borderline epic win over Andy Roddick.... So, what if I told you that Roger Federer mixed it up with Joey...

By Peter Bodo Czech Republic versus France: 14.40 p.m. local time in Ostrava, Czech Republic, 8.30 a.m. TW time (Tomas Berdych plays Gilles Simon, then Radek Stepanek plays Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Surface: indoors - Taraflex carpet); Enjoy today's tennis.

By Steve Tignor OK, that doesn’t have the quite the same ring as “U.S. Open." Regions Morgan Keegan sounds more like a teenage TV star than a tennis tournament. And rather than being played in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the event is held in a racquet club with a low, triangular roof and wooden, high-school-basketba...

By Peter Bodo Once upon a time, I thought that Fernando Verdasco had a stronger upside than Rafael Nadal. I???ve always liked the forehand technique and his balance as he sets up for it. It???s just that it was no fun to watch him set up so well and then hit the ball 5 feet out. Now his forehand is starting to look...

By Peter Bodo The first match of the evening session will feature Roger Federer against James Blake. After a series of eight losses, Blake finally succeeded in beating Federer during the Olympics this summer. He needs a win today if he is to have any hope of qualifying for the Masters Cup.

By Peter Bodo This was a tough one-two-three punch for American tennis, although I imagine the people in Argentina, Serbia, and the Czech Republic aren't overly stressed by that. The expression that comes to mind mulling over all this is "changing of the guard."  Granted, Roddick had the match on his ra...

By Peter Bodo I've never seen - and only just recently heard of - Kudryavtsev.  He won the Battle of Lengthy Surnames that Begin with "K" after beating Philipp Kohlschreiber; he faces Gasquet next on Grandstand.  Details about this unknown Russian to come tomorrow.

By Peter Bodo Semifinals: Federer d. Djokovic; Nadal d. Roddick Final: Nadal d. Federer Did I say the high point of the year was the clay season? Well, I may have to adjust that assessment. Bill Simmons aside, I’m feeling a little more anticipation than usual for Wimbledon this year, both from inside and...

By Peter Bodo We went on to talk about subjects like Davis Cup and the assignment facing Roddick at the U.S. Open, but I'll leave it at that for now. After our interview, we walked up Lexington together a little way and shook hands, wishing each other well.

By Peter Bodo Mornin. . . so how 'bout that Andy Roddick! In one of the more interesting match-ups on clay, he took down countryman Mardy Fish not long ago at the Italian Open. You have to feel for Fish - if you're...

By Peter Bodo It’s funny to think that Federer, at 26, is young enough to qualify as one of Obama’s youthful army if he were an American. Or is he feeling sorry for Bush in there? Federer: Democrat or Republican at heart? 10. A friend and I assessed Roddick’s fiancée the other day.

By Peter Bodo All right, finally, all hail broke loose. Andy Roddick, down for the count.  Mardy Fish, you're outta here! Amelie and Aravane, pfffffft! It was an eventful day Down Under, so let's celebrate, in our unique fashion, the surprise winners:

By Peter Bodo Neither were James Blake and Patrick McEnroe, or Mardy Fish and Robby Ginepri, for that matter. That's because their teammates, the Bryan brothers, after two close sets, had broken the serves and spirits of their Russian opponents Nikolay Davydenko and Igor Andreev. The Bryans would get...

By Peter Bodo Let's start with some contrasts to underscore this point.  Take TMF out of the equation, and imagine that  the U.S. Open would have remained a grass court tournament. Is there any doubt that Andy Roddick could be holding six, seven Grand Slam titles today? Or leave TMF in the picture, and imagi...
