12-12 now.  Federer serving.  By far the longest fifth set in men's history.

  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
I don't think Roddick can pull this one out.  Federer's serves are just too much.  If anyone is going to break the other, it'll be Roger, and when that happens, the final is over.

Still, a great match, no doubt.
CB Draft Bucks: Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Tobias Harris, Zach LaVine, Aaron Afflalo, Jeff Green, Donatas Motiejunas, Jarrett Jack, Frank Kaminsky, Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, Shane Larkin, Nick Young

DKC Bucks. Also terrible.

I just fliped to this on TV.  Amazing match, Roddick looks to be playing out of his mind.  Roddick has always gotten his ass kicked by Federer, hope he can pull it off.

Roddick has to feel like there is nothing he can do to beat Federer.  Can't play any better than he did.

Monumental match. Incredible to have the chance to watch the best player of all-time in his prime the last few years. Tough for Roddick - he must see RF in his dreams he's lost so many matches to him.

In the post game interviews Roger seemed almost sorry that he beat Roddick.  Seems like he truly felt sympathy for Roddick.

I don't watch a whole lot of tennis, but that was a hell of a match today.  I'm glad I caught the last hour and a half of it.

Great match being that it was in the Wimbledon final, but the single greatest match I have seen is Andy Roddick vs. Younes El Aynaoui in the 2003 Australian Open quarterfinal.  One of the most ridiculously entertaining matches in history no doubt.  The last set was 21-19 for Roddick and included some truly unbelievable rallies and shots.  Anyone else remember this match?
