I just caught the very tail end of the Rods/Feds duel and the crowd was just going crazy.

I just can't believe that Feds has a dominating 21-3 all time records against A-Rod. Just baffling. I also didn't know (other than their one epic duel) that A-Rod was in THREE Wimby finals against Feds. That astonished me. If only Rods could have captured that epic duel it would have been so amazing.

Roddick, seeded 31 in Miami, looked a shadow of the player who beat Roger Federer 24 hours previously and produced a lacklustre performance that his Argentine opponent took full advantage of.

Raonic going great in Barcelona, beat both Almagro and Murray in straight sets!
Will probably have to play Ferrer next though, which will be tough...not to mention Nadal will most likely be in the final.
