I discussed 2012 US Open current results with a tennis coach.

Can you comment the tennis match between Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych. Why did Federer lose?

Roger Federer ran into a perfect storm. First of all, a huge guy who hits flat can beat anyone if his shots are going in. Juan Martin Del Potro, Robin Soderling, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Tomas Berdych fall into this category. It’s high risk tennis, but that is how you beat one of the Big Three: Federer, Djokovic and Murray. Also, we tend to think of Roger Federer as not being human, and in general that’s been true. Yesterday his serve and forehand both deserted him, and it was obvious that he couldn’t figure out what was wrong, nor could he adapt his style of play to not having his two best shots.

Andy Roddick’s great career is over. Can you share your opinion about the most famous American tennis player after Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi?

I remember Andy Roddick as a new pro. Everyone felt he was the future of American tennis, and it would probably not be an exaggeration to say that with Andre Agassi’s retirement, he was American tennis, at least for the men.

Not a natural athlete, Andy Roddick used strength and effort to make himself a champion. The way he carried himself on and off the court should be emulated by everyone in every sport.
