yeah .......he is for sure not on fed's or nadals level........sometimes i even think james blake is better than roddick and that is not saying much........as for vinny ice obviously hes not a great player.......but how can you not love the guy and his battle rap........:beerbang: :beerbang: :beerbang:

Blake could be as good if not better but is totally weak mentally. I like Vinny but he gets no respect from the tennis world. Probably because of the book he wrote basically bashing everyone.

Cause there is no one part of Vinny Ice's game that's really any good. The best part of his game is his mental toughness and willingness to fight in every match. His serve, backhand and forehand are average. The problem with Roddick is the HYPE machine. No one ever said Roddick was the best. He's got one of the best serves in the game but after that his game is average. He's got a very good forehand, poor backhand, and good net skills. Roddicks fitness is very good and touch ok. Overall he is one of the top 10 players in the world but due to the fact that there is no american superstar in tennis the announcers and writers annoint him into the category of Federer and Nadal when he's clearly not at that level.

no i did not watch the match cause i was snoring away........but it seems every grand slam they hype roddick up oh he can make the finals maybe compete with federer etc......and he never makes the finals and if he does federer just rolls him to a tune of 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 or something like that......just wish the guy would live up to the hype, and greatness that Patrick McEnroe and those others who blow him think he is......Why does VINNY ICE get no hype from McEnroe.......they better be showing him tonight on espn2

Dan - Did you watch the match? I thought Andy played great. At times his forehand left him. The biggest problem in the match was his decision to come to the net constantly. Kohlschreiber was absolutely brilliant with his passing shots. The stats for both players were legendary. First time I saw Kohly play and I was extremely impressed. He might have the 2nd best backhand in the game next to Federer.

Kohlschreiber 104 winners..33 Unforced Errors...32 Aces
Roddick 79 winners....23 Unforced Errors...42 Aces

Yeah, Dan....he's all hype....if he was from any other country besides the US, he'd be just another decent pro. The US networks are dying for a homegrown star to compete with Golf's Tiger Woods....
