Thanks, GoMaria, for the details on AR’s history (or lack thereof) on clay.

I was thinking about your comment this morning and wondering – is Andy Roddick being disrespectful or just realistic?

His game is so based on his serve – even if he played every warm up tournament to RG, would it really make a difference? It’s not like his movement is that great, and it’s hard to see him “hitting through” anyone with his ground strokes. So while disappointing to his fans, I can understand why he sees the clay court season as break time.

But I agree – we better not hear any bellyaching out of him, come August!

Wow.I can’t believe Agassi and Graf came! I wonder if Stefanki went? Sounds so awesome and fun. Anyways, Congratulations to the newlywed couple.

Andy has not played Monte Carlo since…..gosh I forgot when. By skipping nearly all warm up tournaments during the clay court season – he played one tournament in Rome prior to French Open last year and did well – definitely showed his lack of respect for tennis.

We see that top players like Djokovic and Murray can play on clay, and Roger has already proven he is the second best clay player the last few season. So I guess Andy is satisfied to be a second tier/class tennis player.

Since his season is shorter than most players (skipping April and early May), he should not complain that “tennis season is too long”. He kind of took away that right to moan.

He wasn’t in Monte Carlo. Decided not to play because of the wedding.

I haven’t run the math or checked the gossip sites, but I suspect that tennis players make for sturdy spouses. Yeah, Andre and JMac had those troubled first marriages, and Chrissie is a cougar, but I think that tennis player’s marriages hold up in slebdom.

Love the tropical flowers thing and the chocolate colored gowns.

And I wish Andy and Brooklyn all good things.
