Most commentators in English-speaking media are former tennis players (and an Andrew Castle, that's an inside joke for those who have access to BBC coverage): we frequently have Boris Becker, Jim Courier, Johnny Mac, Tim Henman, Lindsay Daveport, Kim Clijsters, Marion Bartoli, also people like Mats Wilander on Eurosport...

Of course, there was no re-match. To this day, I still regard the 2009 Wimbledon final as the one that got away for Andy... just like the Semi-final of Tim Henman against Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

And he should've developed a deep low slice BH to stay inches off the grass and pounce on the net. His huge serve kept him in the match w RF but you can't beat RF trading shots unless you're Rafa or Djok when they're really on.

Roddick was a real gentleman, you can see clearly how he is a humble person...I think he is really smart, like that kind of people that whatever they do, are really good. Classy, funny, always a good atittude. Nice person. He hasn't received the credit he deserves only for being in the same era of the BIG 4.

Andy was one of a kind, came from a rich USA family, had the best of the best training him, had anything he ever wanted, yet was still able to show sportsmanship. I'm saying this because most of the time the United states produces the best of the best, and in Soccer and Tennis we don't. However I feel like despite him having everything handed to him, he still respected everyone that beat him.

He was great behind the microphone. Even though he didn't win Wimbledon, maybe in the future, he'll realize that he accomplished more than many many many others couldn't by playing in a Wimbledon final. That's a huge accomplishment. Glad he won one Grand Slam final! He should be very proud of that.

If not for Fed he would have at least been known for being a pretty damn good grass court player. From 2003-2005 he was obviously #2 on Grass.

Funny and gracious, great combination. Great at tennis too.

Pointless argument. 2009 Wimbledon Roddick wasn't as unlucky as Nadal given he was the best player in the world at the time and wasn't able to defend his Wimbledon title because of injury, besides Roddick had many lucky wins on route to the final that year vs Melzer, Hewitt & Murray.
