US Open 2008

Roddick vs. Djokovic

The question is how many rackets Roddick is going to smash in this match.

Djokovic is going to frustrate Roddick big time by bouncing the ball a 100 times before serving, slowing down the match by calling the trainer maybe two or three or four times.  It's going to be interesting.

UPDATE:

Roddick broke one racket, already after losing the first set.  Nothing is working for Roddick.  Djokovic hasn't called the trainer or bouncing the ball a 100 times yet.

UPDATE:

Roddick is down two sets, won the third set but the fourth set is tied at three games each.  Some in the audience are turning hostile again Djovokic, making noise while the guy is tossing the ball up serving.  That's not nice.

UPDATE:

Roddick got soundly beaten by Djokovic.  During the post match on-court interview Djokovic let everybody know he is not happy with Andy's sarcastic remark about his "16 injuries."  The crowd was totally for Roddick minus maybe a handful.  Roddick was coming back in the beginning of the fourth set and played like he had the fourth set in the pocket and looked what happened.  Instead of digging himself out of a two sets deficit, he dug himself into a fourth set tiebreaker and eventually lost.  Djokovic didn't even bounce the ball excessively nor did he call a trainer.  He won it fair and square.
