:( Too bad I wasn't there yesterday to start the new thread *sigh* I would've loved to but oh well... ;)

So Andy's out, huh? I can't even tell you how upset I am about that :bawl:

Here's a little interview thing from http://www.krogerstjude.com/:
Quote:

Roddick: "If it was something that I knew it was hurting but wasn't going to get any worse, then I'd give it a go. But when you risk it being a four or five day sprain and something goes wrong and you turn it into a two or three week sprain…especially with Davis Cup around the corner and representing my country there. Since it has the potential to get worse I'm really kind of conscious of that and that was reall a big factor.”

“If it was just pain, that's one thing, but if it has the potential to get worse and do long-term kind of damage, those are two different things. If it's just pain, I can get through it.”

“You woke up and you don't know if it's just stiffness or what it kind of is. I was a little more optimistic this morning when I woke up. The more I walked around on it, the worse it was. Then I tried to jog a little bit before practice, that didn't go over too well. Then I tried to hit a couple, and the first really kind of significant move I made, I just knew that it wasn't going to happen for me.”

*meh* I hope he'll be better soon!

And now here's my attempt to lighten up the mood a little... actually, I made it on Friday because I wanted to post it in the opening post :blush: but well...

Thanks for the thread, Nik. And more lovely art-stuff, Jeb! :)

A couple pics of Andy telling the crowd yesterday that he couldn't play.

He'll be fine in a few days and I think it's very typical of him, in an admirable way, not to play and not risk injuring himself more because he's got the rest of the DC guys depending on him and he doesn't want to let them down. It just sucks that he couldn't wrap up this week because this tourney was SO in the bag for him. Neither Beasty or Carleson really should have given him much problem with how he had been playing and it would have left him only 5 pts behind Lleyton, a margin he could have easily overcome between IW and Miami. ::sighs:: Oh, well.

I love that he took the time to apologize to the fans for not being able to play and sign, what looked like, a ton autographs though (when he probably should not have been on his feet like that for that long). Good boy, Andy. :thumbs_up:

1. Thank you ;)

2. only 5 pts?! 5?! *sigh* That's annoying! But well, it was definitely the right decision to make and he'll be fine soon, so it's all good!

3. I agree. It was very sweet of him to speak directly to the fans :D

-Bianca- 02-21-2005 08:39 AM

Yes, 5 pts. ::sighs:: However, on a positive note, he's got more points at this point this year than he did last year at this point and he'll probably do better on clay this year than he did last (I know, not hard)...

Get ready to awwwwwwwwwwwww:

Thanks for posting the interview Jebony. I snagged your avies. :D

Jebony 02-22-2005 12:55 AM

Bianca - the links don't work (at least, for me, they don't!) :( it always says "page not found"... can you maybe fix that?

Oh, I really hope so because my friend and I now also bought tickets for the semi-final at Hamburg Masters :P

Thank you :hug:

... and since I honestly do enjoy my midterm break here I've made some more

I even felt compelled to use one myself :blush:

-Bianca- 02-22-2005 09:17 AM

Erm, they're working for me, so I don't know what to do to fix it for you. Try copy and pasting the urls into a new window, maybe?

And I snagged one of your icons for current avie use. :)

:blush: yeah, but he'd better because I don't want to see like Hewitt vs. Federer or anything like that :rolleyes:

Thanks for using my avies --> makes me really proud :blush:
