Repeat of Roddick-Federer at Wimbledon.

Maybe we hav had enuff of Federer-Nadal last few years, now the old rivals ll face off each other in another classic finals but one wudn't have dreamt of a week ago.

History in the Making as Andy Roddick will face Roger Federer in the sunday's finals of Wimbledon Title, this is the third time this pair will fight each other at the final showdown at Wimbledon, though Roddick never got the privilege to lift the trophy, since Federer proved to be pain for Roddick everytime, they are clearly hot players at Wimbledon but Roddick's poor run last 1 year or so left the world writing him off in this tournament, who said Murray was placed in a draw where he cud walk straight thro to the finals, Murray was clearly the hot favourite in the tournament next to federer as the number 1 seed bowed out with his knee problems, but that doesn't give Murray the Visa to play at the finals, everyone saw over the two weeks that Murray was proving to improve his odds match after match except the fourth round match against Wawrinka where he had to endure long enuff, but tat din't in anyway dent the hopes of the British, and everyone knew Murray was getting better day after day, he was playing his best tennis under awesome pressure by both his opponents and the Fans, but he cudn't quite extend his great run at the Wimbledon, was he less brilliant against Roddick, i don think so, he was still playing his best tennis, but Roddick's tremendous efforts over the last week shud not be understated, he played some absolute classic tennis aganst Lleyton Hewitt, and not to forget he edged out Murray today, shud i say Roddick's experience over the years has helped him at the big stage, or shud i say too much pressure on Murray did it for Roddick, i guess it was a mixture of both, Murray felt pressure, but that didn't mean he din play his best tennis, he did, but unfortunately though Murray left it wide open too often for the American to take it, the American missed some of those key moments though, and Murray found ways to be back in the match, still he gave a little too many chances for the American, Roddick played it big and won it at the big stage.

I wud really say too many cooks did spoil the brook, but Andy Murray ll be the onl one to know the pressure had over his shoulders to deliver and against such big names across the court, u don't really want extra pressure from ur fans, in that way Murray might not forgive his fans, but still he didn't win it, but that doesn't mean he let his fans down, maybe fans let him down, they have got to be so proud to have being supporting such great talent, he is for the future, such a class he will edge out a lot of big names in a very short time, maybe with time he ll become the one to beat, like maybe Federer or Nadal,

Today's match of Federer vs Tommy Haas didn't give me anytime to breathe, they were both serving brilliantly, again it turned out to be a serve dominated game, but v can't really complain wen they are serving so well, but it was a allround show by Haas and Federer, Federer was all class today, one of his best shots of the tournament came wen he lobbed an halfvolley from Haas, apart from that i had a lot of mixed feeling about federer today, when Federer missed out to place the ball off a dropshot in a completely vacant tennis court where Haas was nowhere in the court, even a kid would have been embarrased there, so did Federer and the whole crowd erupted in laughter and a sportive smiles shared by the players, but Federer can play those shots even the greatest players of all-time would watch in envy, also Federer plays some crazy wild shots even rookies of the sport would be left grinning, i think everytime how come he pulls off stunners from awkward positions, from positions nowhere to return, he returns like the opponent has no tomorrow, thats pure genius, its all encoded in his cells, we can't complain.. but its really hard wen u r that opponent without answers to Federer's awesome stroke-making..

I wudn't say Federer was at his very best, but he was great enuff to see thro Haas in three sets, he had difficulty in breaking Haas, everytime Federer takes the initiation to lead 30-0 or 30-15, but failed too often to convert it to break point to put the pressure on his opponent, or shud i say Haas everytime came back being 30-0 and pulled it of, they cudn't break each other, but had to be contend with the tie-breaker, Federer has had the better of tie-breakers in this tournament, he won it comfortably today as well, the second set was also heading to a tie-breaker, but Federer knew 'all days are not sundays', so he tried hard and broke Haas in the second set wen it was 5-5 to take the lead and serve for the set, he completed it 7-5, the third set was also looking to head to tight finish, wen the Swiss pushed the German at 4 games each, Haas saved 4 break points before double-faulting and giving away the fifth break point wich he cudn't really defend, Federer was suddenly all over the court in that game, he was determined to break him there, and all he had to do was serve to win the match, i guess the Swiss Maestro has had great service games throughout this tournament, if i am right he hasn't dropped his service game yet and has onl lost one set in a close tie-breaker in the third round encounter.

With Federer's authority all over the flush green centre court at Wimbledon, he wud want to register his 6th win in 7 years and improve overall record at grandslams to 15, wich wud go past the overall record of Pete sampras, Sampras has been gracious enuff over the years to laud this Swiss Genius as the greatest ever and Federer has tipped that Pete might be at the centre court to watch the History-in-the-Making when the Swiss Maestro will try to write his name in the tennis books for the most number of Grandslams, i know its not gonna be any easier than last year's epic battle, with the Hard-hitting Andy Roddick across the court, even with a record of 14-3, one can't guarantee to win the title hands down, he has nothing to lose, so he ll come hard at Federer, maybe he shud use the tactic from the book of Nadal 'How-to-beat-Federer-at-Wimbledon'-after losing two finals, both off them share the record of losing to Federer in back to back years, while Nadal beat Federer in his third encounter, Roddick will also hope he cud win it, i heard that if Federer wins he ll reclaim his no.1 status after 7months, while if Federer loses at the finals against Murray, he ll lose a spot to push Murray to second and Nadal ll still keep his nose ahead by very close margin, it luks though Murray won't disturb the rankings since losing at semis, Federer still has his chance to move ahead of Nadal , maybe if Federer does it, he certainly deserves to be back at the elite spot.

But on Sunday, i am going to support Andy Roddick, over the years i have believed players like Roddick, Hewitt had been overshadowed by Federer too much, they didn't quite enjoy their share of success as Federer did, while Roddick was at No.2, he cudn't quite beat Federer at big stages wich cost him a whole lot of setback in his career, like Nadal came in and kept Federer off the hooks at the clay tournaments and even stripped off his favourite tournaments, Federer has done the same against Roddick, Roddick sure deserves to be up in the big league and for what he has done today, he certainly deserves his name in that title, i surely want Federer to make history, but i can't see Roddick being the victim everytime... Federer knows how hard it was to earn tat French Open title, so hard its been for lot of guys out their especially Roddick, I wanna see Roddick out there to walk away with the title for this man had the heart to say 'if i cud, i wud hate him, but he is too nice' speaking of Federer some years back wen he lost to Federer.
