I've always found it hard to root for Andy Roddick. He's a tennis player with a great serve and a bad ass attitude. His yelling, cursing and general lack of respect for umpires and linesman/women is disappointing, classless and disgusting. Andy displayed his usual lack of sportsmanship when he lost today's Wimbledon final to the great Roger Federer.
While Roger gave a very humble (this is why people root for him!) interview with the BBC and mentioned his loss last year, Andy tapped his feet, rolled his eyes and interrupted Roger's moment by screaming out that Roger won five times (hello Andy, he works for his wins!). Andy also seemed to roll his eyes when the interviewer asked Roger about the number 15 on his Nike jacket.
Andy Roddick is a 26 year old married man who behaved like a petulant child. At this point, I no longer felt bad for Andy. He played a good match but his attitude stinks. His surliness leaves a lot to be desired and may be one of the reasons why he hasn't won a grand slam since 2002. Andy Roddick will go down in tennis history as the asshole who played a great match but couldn't bring it home.
I feel bad for his wife. If his attitude on and off of the court while he's playing tennis is any indication of what he's like at home then I pray for his wife because Andy seems like a domestic violence felony case waiting to happen.

His post Wimby interview was very disappointing. He does curse too much about little things on the court. I do envy that he can shop for a supermodel wife in a catalog and have his management take care of the rest. That would be sweet.
