With Federer and Roddick out of the French Open, we found ourselves rooting for Nadal. He soundly defeated Soderling today (6-4, 6-2, 6-4) to win his fifth French Open title.

Congratulations on a job well done!!

This Champion is a Nice Guy

Recently, my family and I had the pleasure of enjoying some of the best tennis the world offers at the Sony-Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, Florida.

We saw Rafa Nadal defeat David Forrer then witnessed Andy Roddick take down Benjamin Becker. After those matches, Roddick upset Nadal in this match:

Shortly afterward, we actually met the winner, Andy Roddick. At a time when he could have walked away and snubbed my son, instead, he spoke a few kind words, signed his cap and thanked us for congratulating him on winning. My greatest impression from that chance encounter was that Roddick looked focused and determined yet treated my son with kindness and top-notch manners. After defeating Nadal, the fourth ranked player in the world, Roddick went on to win the entire tournament.

From our perspective, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Congratulations, crocodile Andy!

You’re a great player and a heckuva nice guy. Here’s hoping you get some well-deserved Grand Slam titles!!

Federer Makes It Sixteen!
