Roddick vs. Gaudio

Um, I was going to call it the battle of the one slam wonders then I remembered that Roddick has been in 3 slam finals and has won numerous titles on every surface...


haha...

um, sure hes done all that, but at the end of the day, hes won the same # of slams as Gaudio. :shrug:

Well he's not a wonder...lol, just a one slam guy. :)

battle of one slams wonders.... :rolleyes:

hard to predict, but tennis will win for sure

El Gato in two :rocker2:

if Roddick is fit he wins

Gaudio clearly is a wonder, just like ToJo...right place right time playing out of his mind...got lucky in a final. Roddick has been a contender for many years, no one would consider it a wonder if he won another slam.

Anyywwways....besides that little side debate.

I'll take Roddick in 2.

Roddick will win in 2 easy sets.

Roddick should normally have the advantage on the one clay he does well on, but Gaudio will want to give it a last honest try.
Gaudio to win, it would be a shame if it went any other way.

Expect a strange scoreline. Some combination of tiebreaks and 6-0/6-1 sets both ways :lol:

I'd be surprised if its something like 6-4, 7-5, or something normal

Well he's not a wonder...lol, just a one slam guy. :)

:lol:
Roddick in two...

Awww... cute piccie!

I hope this will be a good match. I think Gaudio will win... in three.

:lol:

Aww ace piccie :p i think roddick, probably a bagel in there cos there usually is when Gaudio's involved :lol:

battle of one slams wonders....
yeah, and im not sure how healthy either are, but i guess Gaudio.

if Roddick is fit he winsHe says he's fit now, but he had what sounded to be a pretty bad virus about 10 days ago. But he should be fine from that too

Anyway I am looking forward to sleeping through it :D

Andy has won Miami so he is a 2 time slam winner ;)

Any in 2 sets.

if Roddick is fit he wins

as youv said twice now, although I doubt it. Gaudio will win.

Aww ace piccie :p i think roddick, probably a bagel in there cos there usually is when Gaudio's involved :lol:

If bagels are on the menu, then I'd like two in Gato's favor thank you. :)

I'm sorry but "El Gato" only recieves bagels, he wont dish them out.

Gaudio clearly is a wonder, just like ToJo.

Gaudio's slam was expected by me, while ToJo was a real one slam wonder. So it doesn't make sense to compare those two. :shrug:

Expected??? After losing the first two sets on the final against the favorite player? After beating an injured Nalbandian on the SFs while the world thought it would be the other way?
Wow... you're a guru...

Gaudio.

Gaston Gaudio

Vamos Gaston! :rocker2:

Vamos Gatoooo!! :rocker2:

Mmmm, this is very tied.

I mean before the tournament he was one of the favourites for me, while Johansson wasn't.

^^^ @ that pic! :haha: :yeah:

Andy will fuck this flash in the pan's day up. :rocker2:

This is a match that I need to see for the :spit: and :haha: factor... but I can't (stupid intern program :ras: )

Roddick could win this (all we know that Rome is a fake red clay or a red hardcourt :lol: ) but clay is clay after all and Gaston should win.

Three sets of awesomeness.

It should be a pretty :rolls: match

gaudio will win in two

Hope Gato wins.

Roddick in two as long as he can stand upright.

Seriously, Roddick beat Berdych earlier this year on clay and Gaudio is nowhere near the talent level of the Bird Man right now.

What makes you think Gaudio can even win a set?

Gaston of course. And Andy's just as much of a one slam wonder as Gaston is. Gaston has won 8 titles on clay, been top 5 and established himself as one of the best claycourters, so he's hardly a wonder either. You can't use the excuse that Andy is a better all surface player, because Gaston wouldn't still be a one slam wonder if he won RG again anyway.

Roddick and he will lose only 1 game.

May I ask why you are the Gaston Gaudio forum umpire when you don't support him/believe in him? It's not a dig at you or anything, I'm just curious.

Why say it's not a dig. then? Just ask the question. As for my answer, context is important. I am not going to be a silly fanboy, cause I like someone.

if gaudio doesnt collapse mentally as he usually does, then he willw in in 3

Ok, so you are a fan. A fan striving to be a realist. Well I can safely say that Gaston only winning one game is not a realistic prediction. His form has been very off of late, but he still took a set off Djokovic and beat Fish, and on clay, I don't see Roddick scoring a bagel and a breadstick against Gaudio. Especially given his blatant lack of match play.

It's almost as if you go out of your way to sound unbiased.

There is no score that would surprise me, for either player.

In other words you still don't get the context of my original post? Do, I really have to explain it you?

You think I haven't see any of his matches or something? You almost sound serious.

Well if I didn't "get the context" of your post the first time I read it, do you think I'm going to understand it the second time?

The thread starter asked a question, and you answered that question. What other context is there to get?

Starts with S and ends an in a m, or starts with an I and ends in a c.

OH! Now I get it! That thing that is never accurately portrayed on a message board because tone of voice (the key element to sarcasm) cannot be typed. :)

It's clay, so Roddick will only win if:

1. The opponent tanks
2. The opponent is injured
3. The opponent sucks

Do not shame your pedigree Gaston, beat this clayhack.

So since we have case no.3 for sure and a chance of having case no. 1 here, Roddick will win.

The duck will struggle to win a backhand rally in the whole match.

Vamos Gaston!!

Gaston in 3 sets

Come on Andy :D

Even though Gaudio isnt playing his best, Roddick isnt a good claycourter, as Gaudio is. So my bet goes to Gaudio in 3 :rocker:

I'm sorry but "El Gato" only recieves bagels, he wont dish them out.

He's greedy like that.

Finally. How many freaking match points does it take

So since we have case no.3 for sure and a chance of having case no. 1 here, Roddick will win.

Correct! :p

:crying2: :crying2:

I'd be surprised if its something like 6-4, 7-5, or something normalNice call, Blaze. A breadstick and a tiebreak. :rolleyes:

Anyway, :yeah: Andy.

GWH, said only one game. In the first set he was...prophetic.
