Federer V. Roddick

Even for the people who don't like tennis, you have to admit that game was better than any NBA Finals or World Series game (I'll leave out the Super Bowl). It was tough to even decide who to root for. The American or the Greatest. Do you want to witness history or do you want to have that patriotic feel good attitude. As the thirty game fifth set was going on, I didn't know what to be thinking. The first thought in my head was why couldn't Federer break Roddick. He's supposedly, and in my opinion, the best player ever and he can't break Roddick, who is known to choke under pressure. But the truth is, you have to hand it to Roddick for holding in there. After seeing his expression after he lost, you felt his pain. He wanted it so badly, but he just couldn't beat the champ. Either way, he deserved that standing ovation after his defeat; he gave us one of the greatest matches ever played.
