I'm not a huge Roddick fan and haven't seen much of Berdych in awhile,
but must say I am looking forward to this final. Usually it takes
Federer or Nadal to make things interesting.

i've seen Roddick play live four times (one was an exo). in the
matches i've seen he's been content to serve huge and stay on the
baseline. its been boring, actually.

Like I said, I'm not a huge Roddick fan, but I'm thinking this could
be an interesting match.

Well, I've seen all of about 1 minute of this tournament, but it
sounds like Roddick played a smart second and third set yesterday and
Berdych is on a roll. So ... odds are a good match.

I like watching Berdych when he is on. He is the smoothest ballstriker
on the men's tour. Just effortless power.

Also, he has been moving and defending quite well in Miami.

You know Roddick's going to hit backhand slices till the cows come
home, right?

Yes, both were big factors in the Federer match. Berdych's bh slice
used to be pitiful but is passable now.

Well, I may get bored *during* the match, but as of right now I'm
looking forward to it. Let me have my glimmer of hope.

If Roddick plays like he did against Nadal the 2nd half of the match,
then it won't be boring at all.

Yes, some. Best match involved Federer as I remember. But I don't
remember much else.

Thanks for letting us know this.
