Roddick Match Point

[Bruce]

TMS Rome, thursday

Andy Roddick had a MP against Fernando Verdasco

Verdasco made a double fault and the umpire said "game, set and match Roddick".
Andy said "no,no the service of my rival was good" Then they played this point again.

Verdasco won the match

I think I´d never seen anything like that! He has a bad-boy face but he´s a gentleman and a nice sportsman.

It was incredibly sporting wasn't it. I was so heartbroken for him that he lost the match. I know he wasn't the favorite to win, but to have effectively won then by your own hand lose again, it's just so painful.

But, Andy has always been one of the best gentlemen of the game along with Tim Henman, Agassi etc.

A lot of players could easily have just kept walking to the net & shaken hands with Vedasco.. but not everyone would have liked that kind of win on their conscience.

A big pat on the back for Andy - may gentlemanly conduct live on.

I really respect Andy!
