The final Friday at Wimbledon. The Gentlemen’s Semifinals. Yep, this is the stuff.
First up we have the Grass Court King vs. a resurgent veteran who is playing the tennis of his life (see Federer vs. Haas, Rd. of 16, 2009 Roland Garros.) Head to head: 9-2, Roger. I’m not picking a winner due to extreme Fedophiliac tendencies.
Then we have the Andys. One Roddick, one Murray. One American, one Scottish. One can serve. One can serve and return. Both hired and fired Brad Gilbert. Both have girlfriends with Rapunzel hair and Ray Bans. Etc. Etc. Head to head: 6-2, Murray. (That’s the same head to head he has over Fed. . .spooky!) Winner: Andy.
Here’s the schedule:

(6) Andy Roddick v (3) Andy Murray
Who are you cheering for?
Loading ...Re: U.S.A. television coverage. As far as I can tell, ESPN2 will show Haas vs. Fed LIVE in all time zones – the match starts at 8am ET. NBC will go on at noon (“in all time zones.”) I have no idea what will happen if (when?) the Fed vs. Haas match wraps up before NBC’s broadcast window begins. I’m assuming Roddick vs. Haas will be held “hostage” until noon and shown on tape delay if necessary while ESPN2 shows doubles, replays of old matches or a Fowler vs. Gilbert smackdown. (West Coasters – we’re screwed.) I suggest you check out NBC’s live stream at http://wimbledonlive.nbcsports.com if at any point you are writhing in agony in front of the set, wondering where the live tennis went.

Go Roger!Im praying for you!
Who isn’t praying.. If murray (ComeOn!ComeOOOooN!Come-OON!ComeeeooonnYeeahhCOMEon!) wins Wimbledon Fed will fall to #3. And the crowd Dies so much to see him winning. In the match against Stanislas they were about to get into the court and grab his racket as in the BNP paribas advertisment.
In general, I don’t like to pray about tennis matches. I always get the feeling that God or the universe or whatever your personal belief is, is thinking, “Really? THIS is what you’re asking me for?”
But, um, last night and this morning I may have prayed for Federer and Andy. Roddick, that is.
And I’m picking him for the upset. It’s the 4th of July weekend. If there’s ever a time for an American upset of the British, this is it. C’mon, ARod.
GOOO ROGERR
D
ROGER IS THE BESTT
fu*k roger, tommy haas has been a site to behold, lets root for the guy with heart for once, god im so sick of the tennis fan world being scared to route for the underdog, tennis fans are the worst. fu*k the williams sisters and fu*k ferderer go haas, go roddick.
Really dude? That’s what you’ve got? Do Lakers fans switch to Rockets (or whoever) just because they’re the underdogs? I think NOT! Everyone roots for whomever he/she is a fan of. What do you expect?
Thank you for not picking Roger!
Thank you, the match finished about 10 minutes ago!
Please, do not pick Roger to win Wimbledon!
