It wont happen though.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Agreed, on both accounts.
Problem is, he just doesn't have the game to beat the likes of Nadal, Federer and Djokvic.
Problem is he is shit.
I wouldn't call a Grand Slam winner and former World Number 1 'shit'.
Problem is you know nothing about tennis if you think Roddick is shit.
Cavaday playing well.
2-1 up, serving for 3-1 leading 30 -0

True, his serve can only bring him so far. Mentally, those 3 are superior aswell, i saw Roddicks QF against Gasquet last year and he pretty much gave up with a set to go. Doesnt have Connors in his corner this year either, but I reckon he'll make semis.
He'll certainly make Quarters and Semi's, he just doesn't have enough to make finals and win them. Like you say, mentally he isn't as strong as the best.
Aye she's not doing too badly, although she's just been broken back, that'll hurt her.
Also(and I'm not having a go/taking the piss here) is it just me, or does she look quite unfit, or is her outfit just quite unflattering. She's looks quite stocky as tennis players go.
It's a travesty that he ever got to win a grandslam. His game is the ugliest of any top Tennis player I have seen. Can't understand how anyone who likes to watch Tennis, can like his play.
Anyone who wins a grand slam deserves it, IMHO. Roddick had a good chance of becoming a very good player, but he never really continued to develop his game as he should, and as was mentioned above, he is not strong enough mentally. Most of his coaches have found the same thing-he will go back to serving big, and running around to play on his forehand when he is in trouble. It seems like no amount of coaching can knock him out of this.
I love watching a great server. Roddick vs. Ivanisevic in 2001 was one of the most entertaining games I've watched. Goran was better to watch though.
The problem that Roddick has now is that no one is afraid of his serve anymore, thats why he brought in Connors to try and change his game abit. Didnt work though. But I always expect him to be a threat whenever the grass season comes around.
Murray would meet Nadal in the Quarter...
How is Davydenko number 4 in the world. I suspect it`s winning lots of crappy second tier tournaments. For a top player to get knocked out in the third round of the French and not even bother to take in a grass event prior to Wimbledon (especially in contrast to the schedule Nadal undertook) is a disgrace imo. I`d take ranking points of the bald fecker.
McEnroe ribbing Henman just then was funny.
seconded
Murray's missus is really fit
She cant be with him for anything more than the money and attention
Decent start by Murray though, lets hope he does not get injured.
Davydenko out in round 1. How this fella is number 4 in the world is beyond me.
By fixing matches I believe.
Well done Andy Murray. Good performance against a player who is, by all accounts, a nuisance. Murray showed a lot of focus and discipline, and hopefully he can carry that on. That being said, he has to become more ruthless. On a few points today he just lashed at it because he was leading 40-0 or something like that. You won't see any of the other top players doing that. Those things won't hurt you against the likes of Santoro, but they will when you come up against the Federer's and Nadal's of the game.
Also, Henman and McEnroe are the new Brady and Giles of commentary and analysis, brilliant banter going on, Tiger Tim may even have edged it.

I never thought there would be a day I saw women wearing raincoats and tuxedos while playing tennis in the bright sunshine
Djokovic vs Safin on now...
Safin wins first set 6-4.
Safin wins first set 6-4.
Why is Djokovic always a slow starter in every grand slam?
To be fair though to Safin, if he's in the right mental state then he's a threat to anyone including Federer.
Bloody hell, both my tips are in trouble.
True. Most commentators would class Safin as one of the most naturally talented players in the world, but he's very suspect mentally, he'd probably be in that top group of players if he could get his head right.
Never mind all that, hows Sharapova doing?
Marat Safin took part in the greatest game of tennis i've ever watched.
I hope he wins.

Ah bollox!
Ivanovic loses the first set on a tie-break.

Ivanovic watch is in danger of ending already
Andrew Castle just said arse
Safin's experience is really showing here, Djokovic will have to do well to stay in the second set.
Very big ask for Djokovic now, dunno who I want to win this one, they are both among my favourite players, but Safin is still pretty likely to collapse in the next round, whereas Djokovic is much more likely to do something in this tournament if he gets through.
Come on Djokovic turn this one around.
Did any of you guys see that point when Djokovics shot was called out and he challenged the call and then we all saw that the ball had hit the line as cleanly as it can. It makes you wonder how both the umpire and the line judge can miss something like that.

Two Serbians going home early?
wtfs wrong with Djokovic ?
2 sets down and Safin just won break point. He's drowning fast.

Could happen. Im really surprised by Djokovic here but not so much Ivanovic, the womens side is wide open.
3-0 to Safin now..
Djokovic looks like he is hung over or something.
