That and I read an article about him playing a set against a reporter with a frying pan instead of a racket. He won easily.

Haha my cousin sat 2 rows behind and met Mandy Moore once at the Rogers Cup :P
I've heard alot of good stories about Roddick. Playing with a frying pan is one, alot of charity work is another. He never ever says no to Davis Cup while Federer hardly ever plays. Earlier this year he withdrew from Dubai because they wouldn't let Israeli players play.
I don't think Federer meant any harm in his comments. He was trying to tell Roddick to keep his head up but Federer doesn't really have that many examples of "I know how it feels buddy" since he always wins! I also have always gotten the sense that Federer likes and respects Roddick (compared to Murray and Djokovic, who I don't think Roger can stand)
