You say goodbye and I say hello

Huh!? Wha?! My boy Andy Roddick was unceremoneously dumped from the US Open in the FIRST ROUND this week and by a relative unkown from Luxembourg for chrissake. Actually the Luxembourgian, Muller, played some phenomenally clean tennis. He's lowly ranked, but he's had some big wins this year, beating Agassi on hardcourts and Nadal on grass. Roddick played well too for that matter, actually winning about 25 more points than Muller while making fewer errors than Muller, but still losing the match. In tennis, as in life, there are a few key moments that are more important than others. Do we recognize them in time? Oh well, in tennis, again as in life, tomorrow is another day. Goodbye for now, Andy, and hello.

Added: Great match today at the Open will be James Blake v. Rafael Nadal (aka Baby Got Back v. Baby Got Biceps). I love Nadal, but Blake is making a big comeback after losing his father last year AND having a fractured vertebra in his neck from a fall in practice. Check it out if you wish/can.
UPDATE: Booty Trumps Biceps! But really, doesn't it always? American James Blake knocked off world #2 Rafael Nadal in a great match.
