Really? Roddick? I've seen him as second banana in tennis for the past five years, and although he's rounded his game well over that span of time, he still looks somewhat awkward when he must hustle around the court and/or come close to the net. I've felt a bit of vicarious shame and sadness as each subsequent year, he could never get one past Roger at Wimbledon or at the U.S.; but now, in saying that his tennis career has perhaps past the halfway mark, a new younger field has rushed to the fore and are really pushing Roddick's game to the brink. Hell, even Federer has trouble against some of the newer key skill players like Djokovic.
