US Open Tennis; Adios Roddick and Federer!

Another amazing day at the Open. Serena rolling along. Murray and Djokovic advance. Sharapova struggles a bit but advances. But the big stories of the day were Roddick's exit and the upset of "Roger" by Berdych . In an emotional, yet gutsy performance by Roddick, he simply didn't have the answers for Del Potro who played like a champion. Andy played well , but Del Potro handled his serve and hit stinging passing shots all match. Andy will be missed!
Roger must be extremely disappointed. He did not play "Federer-Like" tennis and Berdych, except for a little "3rd set blip", may have played the best match of his career!
So we move on ..My two favorite players gone. Still, an abundance of talent and some great matchups over the best (last) 4 days of the tourney.
Woops, gotta go. Matches on in 38 minutes on ESPN 2.
