USA tennis star Andy Roddick seems to be enjoying 2008 a lot. So far he’s had a great year on tennis tournaments, and the best proof of it is the fact that he’s advancing smoothly through Australian Open rounds.
Roddick pulled a very impressive game against German player Michael Berrer with a great 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 result. That’s all he needed to jump into the fourth round, as a 6th seed with a lot of potential for this year’s Grand Slam tournaments. On Friday night he will be facing Philipp Kohlschreiber in a very expected match.
Is this finally the time when Andy Roddick can shine like everybody wants him to? We’ve seen several times how he seems to have it each time and then… he just loses and gets kicked out of the tournament. Plus, the angry and emotional moments every time he misses a good play. Time could make people think about him as a not-so-good player if things keep on like that. Too bad, because that’s the best in the tennis world from the U.S right now. He’s ranked 6th, but he’s always defeated by the big ones. Let’s see what happens this time, since this seems to be the Roddick year.

The Tennis world is warming engines for the upcoming events. Right now people are showing their skills in Australia and New Zealand. But, as I said, this is just the warm-up for the beginning of the 2008 Grand Slam events.
Next Monday those who like to bet on sports different than just Football (and of course those who really enjoy Tennis tournaments) will be very excited with the start of the Australian Open. Melbourne Park will be packed with great tennis players and fans. Definitely something to keep track of.
Serena Williams, one of the Defending Champions, gets some expectation since some still doubt she’s fully recovered from the old knee incident. But the one that has everyone’s eyes upon him is star Roger Federer. Despite the records achieved by Federer and all the Grand Slam titles he has collected, the fact that he’s been out of the courts for quite a while worries some of the usual betting fans. Some kind of stomach virus attacked Roger and made him pull out from the warm-up. He hasn’t played since November. Will he be out of shape for the Australian Open?
It will be refreshing to take some time and watch something different. Nothing like a good Tennis tournament to bet on. Now, that’s professional sports!
