Roddick is Gutsy
Andy Roddick is very gutsy for consistently hanging in the top 10. So many critics questioned that he would be a has been 4 years ago, but now more than ever, he is a Grand Slam threat. If A-Rod hadn't injured his ankle against James Blake in the Queens semifinals, he would be my favorite to win Wimbledon. Apparently Andy is healthy, and he will continue to wreak havoc as the event continues. For all those rising junior or college players out there, it's a very simple equation that Agassi, Muster, Nadal and Roddick have displayed: Extreme training leads to results.
Jurgen Melzer beat me and Greg Schweitzer at the SAP San Jose Open doubles event (1st round, 6-1, 6-3). He is a great guy and the lefty serve is lethal on grass. It's also nice to see Jurgen hanging around in his later years. Watch out for Roddick, something is brewing!
PS- I'm hitting the road with World Team Tennis and WTT.com next week, will be courtside reporting for the Tennis Channel and WTT.com, so check it out... GO TENNIS!

About this blog
Harry Cicma tackles the hot topics in tennis, sharing his insight on the favorites, tournament news and players to watch. Harry was ranked for three years on the ATP Tour doubles circuit and played four years of NCAA Division-I tennis at Rutgers University. He now covers all sports as a TV producer/anchor on NBC in Southern New England.
NBC is also pretty gutsy to believe they are so much more important than a sport that they can show taped matches (and refuse to allow other networks to show them live) and people will still take them seriously.
PLEASE SHOW TENNIS LIVE ON THE WEST COAST!! OR SURRENDER YOUR RIGHTS !!
NBC has always had that problem. At least now they show whole matches. They used to only stay within their alloted time, so based on when they cut in, you always knew who won. It's actually the screwed up thing about international sports events and the money counters of corporate america...
