Re: Shimmying into Shanghai--the 2005 Masters Cup thread
Roddick's status questionable for Masters Cup
The Associated Press
Updated: 9:40 p.m. ET Nov. 7, 2005
HERSHEY, Pa. - Andy Roddick said Monday his status is "so-so" for the season-ending Masters Cup next week in China because of back and shoulder injuries.
Roddick played in four exhibition sets Monday night at the Advanta World Team Tennis Smash Hits, an annual charity event benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and said he was hurting afterward.
"I'm very sore right now," Roddick said after playing two of his matches. "I feel my status is about so-so right now."
The third-ranked Roddick was first hurt Saturday, when he was upset by Ivan Ljubicic 6-3, 7-5 in the semifinals of the Paris Masters.
"My concern is not to play if I'm hurt," Roddick said. "I'm not going to go try to limp through the year on something that's not feeling great. It's really tough to beat the world's best when you're not feeling you're best."
Roddick flew from Paris to his home in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, where the injury was re-evaluted. He is tentatively scheduled to leave for Shanghai on Wednesday.
"I was a lot more optimistic four days ago," he said.
Hosted by John and Billie Jean King, the Advanta event also featured tennis players James and Thomas Blake, Lisa Raymond, Anna Kournikova and Martina Hingis. |

Re: Shimmying into Shanghai--the 2005 Masters Cup thread
Deb, it sounds like that article was written using quotes from Andy's post-match interview. I don't think they actually got any words from him after the charity event.
I think he'll go to Shanghai.

So, he's less and less optimistic about playing then?! 
People will understand if you're in pain, Andy... It's OK to skip one of those exhibitions for once...  |

Re: Git Yer Ass to Shanghai, Andy! -- TMC thread
Andy, get to Shanghai so a little Chinese woman can walk on your back and cure your injuries. Thank you.

Well, four days ago, he wasn't injured 
He's not even scheduled to leave til Wednesday, which means he gets there Thursday China time... that's one day before Marat gets there, and MARAT IS NOT PLAYING. Honestly, his lack of preparation for these big events is getting tiring. He should have not done this exhibition and gone directly from Paris. I said it before and I'll say it again, I hope he realizes this shit before it's too late. |

Re: Git Yer Ass to Shanghai, Andy! -- TMC thread
You would think someone on his team would realize how ridiculous it is not to get to these big events in plenty time! I am beginning to wonder if he will ever change
