Both Sides of the Coin
Was reading the Sydney Morning Herald today and saw that Hewitt's been placed in the tough top half of the draw for Wimbledon. He's got to deal with Federer, Ancic plus a ton of other guys.
Now Yahoo! news is reporting that Andy Roddick's got the tough half of the draw. The toughest guy he's gotta face, in my opinion, is Tim Henman. No one else ought to bother him.
It's a nice view of how nationalism paints reporting. An objective tennis viewer would have no qualms about pencilling Roddick into the finals bracket. Yet, the media takes a different slant on the same topic. What would be an easier draw for Roddick then? Pairing up with Federer in the top half?
It's most likely an opportunity for the ESPN guys to explain away Roddick's inevitable loss to Federer in the finals. "You have to give him credit. He battled through a really tough draw and had nothing left when he met Federer."
Taking bets anyone?
