Roddick finally beats Federer

[sportschick]

It only took him 12 tries since the last time

I posted it on the Serena thread, but I think an upset like this might deserve its own thread.

Great. Now he just needs to do it in a major.

Maybe we move the conversation from Federer is slightly off his form of the past few years to... much worse than that.

When Roddick beats him (Fish and Roddick went to the same prep school, BTW), then it is time to look at his problems closer.

Roddick improved to 1-0 against Federer since his recent engagement to swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, who watched from the stands.

Who says the AP doesn't have a sense of humor?

This will never happen again ... at least not in any legit tournaments. I don't care if Federer is on his death bed.

And Roddick follows up his big win by losing to Davydenko.

America! **** yeah!

Never would have seen that coming. Not that Roddick is all that. But Davydenko --- aka Mr. Semifinalist and still reportedly depressed about the ongoing investigation --- beating Roddick in front of his home crowd and advancing to the final is not the wager I would have made.
