Andy Roddick Pulls An Andy Roddick; Exits Australian Open In 3rd Round


No surprise here, Andy Roddick bows out of another major several rounds too early. It continues to puzzle me that he's considered an elite tennis player, but when you're the best American men's tennis has to offer you're bound to be overrated.

Hard to criticize Andy too much, however, it must be difficult to play tennis when you're deciding which model to ace next.

Roddick lost in 5 sets to Phillip Kohlschreiber 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (9), 6-7 (3), 8-6, who no doubt celebrated with a few shots of Goldschlager.

Highlight of the match came when he lost it on French umpire -- you're stunned, I know -- Emmanuel Joseph. Sorry, the video sucks below, but Roddick first tells him he's going to speak very slowly so he can understand, then amongst other things calls him an idiot.

I don't think it's fair to criticize Roddick too much. Kohlschreiber was seeded, is ranked 27th in the world, and has already won a tourney this year. He's red hot, and had an amazing 103 winners in the match. Roddick's serve was the only reason it got to five sets. Heck, at 5-6, Roddick saved four match points thanks to his serve. Sorry, I can't call this a choke by Roddick. Federer is the only guy I could see not losing to Kohlschreiber the way he played.

HAHAHA..I just love the headline. You are DAMN RIGHT!!! He pulled another Roddick. And yes I think people should be wading into Andy Roddick because I always thought he was cocky. If you want to be cocky.....THEN HAVE A PRETTY GOOD REASON TO BE!!! Do not be getting kicked out of tournaments by every Tom, Dick and Phillipe...I mean Harry. OK ..OK...maybe I should easy up on him a bit...but seriously...I think he needs to cool down and step his game up. It's about time.
