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&#8217;t the easiest of playing conditions.<\/p>\n<p>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\u00a0 by quite a few unforced errors from Andy.<\/p>\n<p>The second set was a whole different story, though.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8230; like a BOSS!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some courtside photos of the event.
