Courtside at the BB&T Atlanta Open Championship!
Posted by Matthew Loop | 1 Comment
Yesterday, my wife, son, and I attended the BB&T Atlanta Open here in the city. This exclusive final match featured US tennis sensation, Andy Roddick vs. Gilles Muller of Luxembourg. The temperature on the court must have been over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, so it wasn’t the easiest of playing conditions.
To put it bluntly, Roddick got his ass handed to him in the first set and only took one game. Muller played very well and was helped by quite a few unforced errors from Andy.
The second set was a whole different story, though.
The two players battled all the way to 6 games a piece. Roddick then turned on his A-game and never looked back, winning the tie-break 7-2.
The third and final set saw a major shift in momentum toward the highly confident, Roddick. He powered his way to a 6-2 victory, taking the championship… like a BOSS!

I had never heard of Muller before this event but his domination of the first set was clearly no accident.
Way to take full advantage or your courtside seats and snap these ESPN quality photos Matthew. And, although I think Rick Reilly’s job is safe, your sports writing ain’t bad either.
