I am pity over the loss of Roddick even though he has got the best and powerful serve one can depend on. But it is unfortunate that his game at times goes haywire in crucial times. Any how I wish him better luck for future tournaments including the grand slams. I am surprised myself at how a player with the strongest service in the game loses a match like that. Hai, Roddick, a piece of suggestion from a supporter that you should not lose your concentration by losing your temper on the court. I happened to see you losing your temper. Thanks for reading.
