While it is a sad ending for Andy Roddick by making his quickest exit at the US Open in his career, you have to tip your hat to Janko Tipsarevic because the Serb played a brilliant match after losing the first set. Tipsarevic won, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (4).
Roddick got a little defensive in those three sets, especially, during the second and it let Tipsarevic into the match and he didn't let go of it. Roddick played well but the Serb just played even better.
He had a few foot-fault called and did get agitated with the lineswoman and the Chair Umpire, but of course he didn't go Serena on them. While the talk is about him retiring, if Roddick can still play, he has every passion to do so.
Pete Sampras won the US Open late in his career, and Roddick has what it takes to win a slam.
