true but i believe now that roddick lives and dies with his backhand not his serve, even though his serve is his biggest weapon

Did you guys actually see the match? Muller was hitting 120 mph slice serves out wide or down the line. He was catching lines on almost every single point. He had some 60 odd winners. Muller played almost Federer-esque, setting Roddick up then blasting a punishing ground stroke. Muller will lose because he got lucky and played the best he ever will. Andy on the other hand had his serve in a moderate groove, but it was his backhand that killed him, he only had 2 backhand winners the whole game. I don't know why he expects to win against people using his forehand and his serve. He needs to develop a dominant two-handed backhand or it will get attacked just like it did yesterday.

the KC royals have the fourth lowest value in the major leagues..two teams below them is the Oakland A's and Minnesota Twins both playoff contenders. At Forbes.com it is shown that the royals are actually making money every year....while most playoff contenders and in debt. it just goes to show to make money you need to spend...and also for most teams spending money=winnings... the royals don't fit the mold of the A's and twins...so they need to get better management or richer owners

you are forgetting one guy who is really important Shawn Marion... he is a great shooter, great rebounder, and can play almost all positions expect center... he can help take the load off steve nash.... if the suns can get a good backup point guard they could be good for years to come

I agree with Scott because no other team in the Western Conference actually improved enough to beat the Suns.

serena i am sorry to say this is a little overweight...maybe we should get her on Celebrity Fit Club....i believe that venus will put serena away in two sets 7-6, 6-3. Venus has been striking the ball too well, and most importantly is actually fit, serena should rest and think about whether she wants to play tennis or not. she says that she is dedicated but yet she still hasn't slimmed down back into playing weight.
