Right.
I'm still waiting on him to beat Pete Sampras at last year's US Open.

MG i hope that happens,that would be amazing,but it's amazing that he made it to the quarter-finals when prety much allthe rest of the top 10 that were playing here bombed out before he did. he said he wanted tomake a dent in the Grand Slams and so far he's lived up to his word, GO RODDICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to get technical, actually, only 60% of the top ten coming out of Oz did not make the quarterfinals.
I wouldn't think that 4 of 10 going to the quarters accounts for "pretty much all of the rest", does it oh brilliant one?

Lest we forget that if Roddick makes it past Younes, Rainer, and David, there are three seeds on the other side of the draw, any of whom I'm sure will be more than happy to take this Slam from Roddick.
Personally, I don't see him getting to the final to begin with . . .

I don't think he's gonna win the slam (although it would be great if he did ). But I think he has a decent shot at getting to the finals. If his game holds up I think he can beat Younes, who had a close match with Hewitt. Don't know about Rainer, but Andy did beat David en route to the TMS Toronto finals last year, and quite easily too if I remember correctly.

It's funny that he just beat a lower ranked player and all in a sudden, he's the biggest, brightest star in the world. You Roddick fans don't have much expectation on him, do you?
However, he did beat someone he never beat before, that deserves some raised eyebrows. And I so want to see an Agassi Roddick final. If Agassi ever lose to that prick in a slam final, maybe he will consider early retirement. But I suspect that both a lose to Roddick nor an early retirement won't happen any time soon .

Well - if Roddick makes the final, which is still in doubt seeing as their are two matches left to play (dare I say that maybe it's Rainers turn? ) -
If he meets Agassi, Agassi will roll right over him, imo. He'll spank him ala Clement 2001. But hey - if he makes the final, a spaking doesn't take away from that result. Just ask David.
Him and Ferrero have never played, so that is a question mark. In terms of experience it's Ferrero, but i'm not certain how their games would match up.
Has he played Grosjean?

Grosjean has a 1-0 advantage over him, lest we forget the Davis Cup semifinals

Andy won't make it to the final. period. and if by some miracle he does, he will lose to whoever is on the other side. but he'll make sure to cramp up and carry on so his fans can make excuses for him...
All I know is he's 0-3 against Agassi, and if Ferrero is playing well enough to beat Agassi, who is on fire apparently, I don't think he's going to have any trouble with Roddick.
That said, I'm glad Andy finally realised that being a set down doesn't mean you should have a tanty and throw the rest of the match - I was starting to feel sorry for the kid.

What is there to feel sorry for?
He's 20, he's rich, and his own media thinks he's the greatest shit since Pete Sampras.
