I think the maid of honor speaking is a newish thing, like equal time for the sexes perhaps? I don't think the maid of honor has spoken in too many of the traditional weddings the English side of my family has had.

So to sum up, weddings are all over the place. :lol:

oh Andy :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

After a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 defeat, Roddick had a fit of rage in the tunnel leading out of the stadium, emptied the contents of his bag on the floor and smashed what looked like every single racket one after the other upon the concrete.

I still don't blame him for being pissed. That was a winnable match and he blew it. He needs to get worked up like before a match, not after.

Too bad his racket smashing party wasn't caught on tape though. :p

Roddick not one to mince his words

Andy Roddick remains the most frank and straightforward of people. You did not have to ask a question after his quarter-final defeat to Roger Federer, the 17th in their 19 meetings to realise how much it devastated him. Indeed, after three, he was out of the press room. Earlier in the event, the American did not take kindly to the official indecision when it began to drizzle during his third round match against Russia's Dmitry Tursunov. At the first hint of rain on a hard court, the umpire usually comes down to check how slippery the lines have become. When nothing happened, Roddick turned his ire on Cedric Mourier, the excellent French umpire, who, in conversation with The Net Post in the van en route the following day, admitted Roddick told him he had: "A fat ass." A couple of f-words followed. When former Wimbledon referee Alan Mills - not a man averse to dealing with rain delays - marched on to join the debate, Roddick told us: "Alan said that if I felt like it's too slippery, I should speak up. I asked him if my standing there looking confused for 20 seconds didn't give the point away. I guess I had to get more vocal than to try the confuse and conquer method." The following day, after profuse apologies to Mourier, Roddick was informed of the extent of his fine. His reply was - "put it on my tab." :haha:

It's just not tennis
Tom Tebbutt, April 7, 2009

The NFL, in the person of Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter, came to tennis last week at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami in a very noticeable way.

Porter, who won a SuperBowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was seated on an aisle just a few rows up behind the court for the Roger Federer–Andy Roddick quarter-final night match.

Apparently Porter, 6 foot 3 and 255 pounds, had earlier met Roddick and he was extremely animated in supporting his fellow American.

He would frequently get up and walk down closer to the court and shout (maybe bellow is a better word) encouragement in a very demonstrative fashion as Roddick returned to the court after a change-over. For many fans in the stadium, his behaviour was over the top, especially in the tennis context.

The burly linebacker would interject his support even when Roddick was at the opposite end of the court, with Federer just below him.

After Federer won a close 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory – a match that he seemed about to coast through uneventfully when he led 6-3, 2-1 and love-40 on Roddick's serve – some reports claimed he was able to ignore the vociferous Porter and go on to win the match.

Well, that was not entirely true. Coming out of a change-over early in the third set, the usually unflappable Federer said something like, “Can't you make him stay in his seat?” to umpire Gerry Armstrong. The British official replied that he had already said something. Then Federer responded with, “I'm looking right at him.”

Clearly Porter was getting to the world No. 2.

It might have been a bigger issue had Federer lost. Later, neither he nor Roddick was asked about it during their post-match media conferences.

The Florida Sun Sentinel quoted Porter as saying about his tennis experience, “I knew about the scoring system. What I didn't know about was there is a little golf tendency about it. You're supposed to be quiet and I caught myself yelling at the wrong time. I picked up a little bit of etiquette today.''

Andy Makes An Entrance
April 8, 8:08am GMT+5 by andyroddick.com

In Tuesday’s exhibition in Peru against Luis Horna, Andy got stuck in a horrible traffic jam on his way to the courts. His car had a police escort for extra security but the traffic was simply not moving. As time passed and Andy was close to missing the beginning of the match, he grabbed his racket bag and hopped on the back of a police motorcycle who weaved in and out of cars to the courts to he could make it on time. Andy certainly knows how to make an entrance!

:eek::lol:
