He'll Never Be The Best, But He's Something
Andy Roddick's one of those athletes whose fame outsizes his accomplishments. He's one of the more successful American tennis players, but in the Roger Era, his on-court record will never put him alongside the greats. More » -

And Here's Something Else That Will Disappoint Andy Roddick
It's Andy Roddick's brother, Oklahoma Sooners head tennis coach John Roddick, getting some not-so-quality face-time. I know it was a long match but he should pack a granola bar just in case he gets hungry. [YouTube] -

Rodderer. Fedrick. Wimbledon Open Thread
I'm sure we'll see this same picture in, oh, 90 minutes: Roddick once again holding his sad plate standing next to a smirking Federer. If you're the gamblin' sort, a Roddick victory pays out ridiculously. Live that dream.[Fanhouse/NBC] More » -

Next Thing You Know, They'll Play La Marseillaise For Andy Roddick
Andy Murray is British, so naturally, he's the local favorite at Wimbledon. Hey, that would make for a sappy Rick Reilly video essay, complete with "Das Deutschlandlied," the British national anthem, as background music. More » -

At Wimbledon, All The Living Cars Fall Faintly On The Dead
"We were told: 'Go and reverse between these gravestones.' I thought: 'This is very odd'. But we did it and went to Wimbledon." The £20 for parking in a cemetery is split between three charities. How wonderfully macabre. [Ananova] -

At Wimbledon, Court 2 Means You're Ugly
Interesting story from London's Daily Mail where they get an All England Club spokesman to admit the ladies featured on the hallowed Centre Court aren't necessarily the best players, but they are the best-looking players. More » -

Roddick Rickrolls Wimbledon, And Newspapers Care
"I busted my wife on some of her crappy music. She brought up Rick Astley. I can't deny it. It's in my iPod. I bet it's in your iPod too, so shut up!" You heard the man. [The Sun, Reuters] -

American Newspapers Can't Quite Afford Wimbledon Coverage
Filip Bondy reports that only eight papers — the usuals plus, uh, the S.F. Examiner? — sent tennis correspondents overseas, and some aren't even there yet. To be fair, though, that's one reporter for every 6.375 players. [Bondy via TBL] -

The Incredible Dulk Is "Splendiferously Lithe," And Other Required Reading (Update)
Simple question from an intrepid reader: "Who is Gisela Dulko and why have I never heard of her before? And by heard of, I mean seen — she just beat Sharapova in an almost happy tissue inducing match." I-Team, unite! More » -

Wimbledon 2009 Is Very, Very Tape-Delayed
Get those bets in, because even though Wimbledon hasn't started yet, ESPN already knows who won. Doesn't matter if one of their projected winners isn't actually playing. Just trust them. TWWL is good like that. [ESPN]
