Yinette PerezRoddick take fourth Stella Chamionship: Looks good for Wimbledon challenge
June 18th 2007 08:30
Andy Roddick took his fourth Stella Artois Chamionship putting him with an elite few who have won four titles, Hewitt, McEnroe and Becker.
He saved a Match point to claim victory from frenchman Nicholas Mahut and is looking very good for a strong Wibledon challenge. As discussed the last 9 Grand Slam finals have been Federer v Nadal so we would all like to see a bit of variety and wathc Andy slug it out in the Final. Mind you it will be hard to stand in the way of Federer and the record books, he seems very focussed on making History these days, now he has missed the French again he will be hungry for lesser records than the elusive Grand Slam and five Wimbledon's is a very worthy record to hold.
Back on the dark horse tack, Nicholas Mahut looks to be an outside chance, he knows how to win as a former Wimbledon Junior Champion in 2003, mind you he had Roddick against the rails and didn't come up with the goods but a defeat like that could really fire him up for Wimbledon.
In womens Tennis Maria Sharapova went down to Jelena Jankowvic in the final of the Birmingham's womens Championship. You have to say coming off an injury it was a good effort and Maria could look good to take out another Wimbledon title.
