If you did, have you ever seen a better game? Too bad Roddick lost though...<br /><br />Yes, even better match was Agassi - Sampras in 2001 in the quarterfinals of US Open. Their ratio of winners against errors was even higher than Roddick - Kohlschreiber match. The match was won by Sampras 6-7, 7-6, 7-6, 7-6 with NO breaks of serve.

Anyone surprised?<br /><br />Not at all considering that the matches were played on a fast surface and there were a lot of clay court experts like Nadal, Ferrer and Gonzales. It seemed that Roger switched to another gear after the first round loss to Gonzales and no one was able to play at that level. And it&#039;s not...

I know this happened years ago in the US Open. Why do women still play less sets than men though if they get the same prize money. Surely it isn't fair?<br /><br />Well, women are supposedly not fit (strong) enough to last 5 sets. There is some truth in this although women now run marathon too. The reason why thea are paid the same is (in their opinion) because they provide the people with same excitement as men. Maybe even more, depending on what...

It&#039;s not the best grip for driving through the ball but it&#039;s great for top spin. Justine Henin has quite a western grip on her backhand (maybe not 100% but close). Gustavo Kuerten, Alberto Mancini and Gabriela Sabatini are some other players...
