Roddick lost his nerve again!
by Barbora Misakova
That U.S. open seems to be watch-worthy. Two days ago all people standing on the court or just watching it were shocked when Belarusian tennis player Victoria Azarenka collapsed at the court and had to be transported to the hospital, where mild concussion was diagnosed to her. The same day, a little nervy-kind-of-performance was made by American professional tennis player and a former World No. 1, Andy Roddick. During the match against Serb Janko Tipsarevic, where individual sets looked like joke efforts, Roddick lose his nerve because of his foot fault. Roddick was serving down 2-5 in the third set, when a line judge called a foot fault that television replays showed was c! orrect. Conflict arose when Roddick asked her which foot he committed the violation with. When she mistakenly said it was his right foot, Roddick started to yell: “My right foot? Really? Right foot? Had time to think about how that is physically impossible?” According to many witnesses, Roddick couldn’t stand it and was talking about it and making jokes more than quarter of an hour. “Why don’t you get some umpires who know what they are doing? Try 1-800!” he tried to joke. “I am either really talented or she messed up really bad. That’s ridiculous. I think we both know that’s ridiculous.” Roddick said to the chair umpire after the set. Regardless of how much he was upset, he couldn’t defeat Tipsarevic, who won the match after three hours and 18 minutes with a nervy backhand winner.
