In Which 2nd Place Won

Andy Roddick should have won Wimbledon Men's single final 2009. He worked the hardest and deserved it the most. Not to mention the dignity he showed afterwards.

I've always quite liked Federer but was definitely hoping for Roddick to win. I saw an inter view with him right after he'd won the semi-final and again, being so humble and grateful [for his own achievement] was nice to see and hear. Had Murray won the semi-final, the interview would have been full of whingeing as he never ever seems to be satisfied but Roddick... I am very impressed.

So Andy, I can't imagine how much it sucks to be so close and lose but Federer was lucky. You were the better player and from what I could tell, the better person. The way you handled coming 2nd shows what type of winner you'll be and Wimbledon 2010 is only a year away...
