chickendinner tipped A-Rod to reach the final, which if you bet with Paddy Power as we advised would have earned you a £50 return on a £5 E/W stake, although it could have been £145 if he hadn't tired at the end.

I was hoping John McEnroe would read from the Freak Book, but I have to agree with the Sports Guy; a broadcast free of hyperbole, inane tie-ins and a 3 man booth is fantastic.
Maybe it's because I've always had teams or players that came up short against them, but I have a natural reaction against "Dominant" athletes: MJ, Federer, Tiger etc.
I wouldn't say you can "always" pull for Andy... he's had his share of petulant moments with chair umpires.
But, I think he's quite similar to Andre Agassi, who also had his large share of petulant moments. Both guys were pretty gracious in defeat, were always grateful to be able to play tennis at a high level, and seemed very likeable off the court.
But I agree with you dignified Roddick was today. Meeting Triumph and Disaster and treating both imposters the same.
@Spectacular Sam: Yes. Also all those advertisers that had clearly prepared ads in advance and run them seconds after cutting away from Andy on the verge of tears deserved a racket in the nads. Fuckers.

Well you came
And you played without breaking
But they sent you away
Oh Andy
Well you served
And stopped Roger for some time
And we praise you today
Oh Andy
