Indeed.
That, though, was the signal for Roddick to lose his temper with umpire Emmanuel Joseph. "You're an idiot," Roddick yelled. "Stay in school, kids, or you'll end up being an umpire."

And commenting on his opponent's win:
Let's call a spade a spade. Let's not put him in the hierarchy of tennis yet," Roddick chided a questioner.
"Let's let him get into the quarter-final of a slam before we put him in the hierarchy of tennis."
He did go on to say that Kohlschreiber played well, but...such sour grapes.
Interestingly enough, Roddick wasn't penalized for any of his swearing, comments toward the ref, or toward Kohlschreiber's "little section of fans" who were being supportive

Generally, I like the guy. He's got talent, but his PMS really gets in the way. He was able to keep his control for the majority of last season and he played exceptionally well. His temper and attitude is his major downfall. Jimmy Connors can generally keep him in check, but I guess not this match.
