http://dougsmithsports.blogspot.com/2010/08/roddick-renders-smooth-delivery-on.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Roddick renders smooth delivery on court and later with media. Thus far, Andy Roddick hasn’t compiled credentials comparable to those of his retired superstar compatriots such as Pete Sampras, Jim Courier and Andre Agassi and probably never will. Still, he displayed a comparable level of poise, savvy, charisma, and at times, dazzled the media with thoughtful, sometimes comedic responses to a variety of hot topics. As a big Miami Heat fan, what is your reaction to this (new) team?

Doug Smith Sports: Top U.S. male pros got game, but are wanting in style
http://dougsmithsports.blogspot.com/2010/09/top-us-male-pros-got-game-but-are.html
Wednesday, September 8, 2010. Top US. male pros got game, but are wanting in style. Publisher's note: Please visit my new blog site: TheDougSmithPost.com. John Isner, Sam Querrey and Mardy Fish should not be criticized for falling one or two victories short of reaching the U.S. Open quarterfinals; they (and the coaches who developed them ) should be hammered, however, for trying to do so while playing a game unsuited for their physical talents. The USTA, indeed, the tennis world, needs to do something qu...
