I've seen in ages?  To borrow the words of a fatter man, fuck and yes.  Andy Roddick could be a world champion if, after losing a point, he'd pull out a hunting knife and slowly give himself a long cut down the cheek, then return to the court with a wild look in his eyes.  That dilettante Federer would crap his pants.  Instead, Roddick's a little coward who needs to preserve his pretty-boy looks so he can chase swimsuit models.  What an idiot.

I really don't have words to describe this. I'll just let you watch. Wait for it.....Waaaaaaaait for it (fun starts at 1:30 in)..... Umm yeah. That's Mikhail Youzhny seeming not so happy with himself. A bit crazy, but the motivation tactic seemed to work because he came back and won the match.
