^ Gah....beaten like a red-headed stepchild.

Federer is one of the best things to happen to tennis, and the worst thing to happen to Roddick's mantlepiece.

I would have preferred him to finish his career without a major.

Perhaps Federer will beat him so badly tomorrow that he will retire.

I am, but I have to go to church in a bit so I'll miss most of it, unfortunately.

No surprises yet, both guys holding serve quite easily.

And Roddick goes right back and chokes away a whack of set points.

Good lord.

Well, that was Roddick's chance to go up 2 sets to love against the best tennis player in the world, and he blew it.

Roger's going to buckle down now and win it. That's more than what he needed to get his confidence back.

Oh man, is this over? I wanted to watch it. I'm afraid to look at the result... Hopefully Roddick finally won...

Still going. Federer is up 2 sets to 1, but Roddick has a 5-3 lead in the 4th.

Another great final today. I have to give credit to Roddick, he's come up with more than I thought he could.

This has been an amazing match. 8-8 now in the 5th set. Roddick has played outstanding. If he played how he has all tournament he would be at worst #3 in the world. It's a shame one of these guys has to lose. Federer is one of my favorite players all time but I feel Roddick definitely deserves this title(and in a way I am pulling for him). A good storyline either way.

Roddick with 2 break point chances and erased that quickly. Deuce.

9-8 Federer now.

Roddick is going to regret blowing that game.
