US Open Officials Warns Players That They Arent Allowed To Twitter

Tournament officials have warned players not to broadcast “inside information” via Twitter at this years US Open. Naturally, players complain about it via Twitter. I find it very funny that the US Open has warned players to not broadcast inside information on Twitter, as if most players are stupid enough to do this in the first place. I think Andy Roddick sums it up the best.

Twitter is pretty much just texting online which allows people from all over the world to listen to what you have to say. I cant really see how tournaments can stop players from Twittering in their spare time and even on court to a degree. Tennis is a professional sport and if you are on tour then you know that giving away inside information or betting on tennis could see you hit with serious consequences.

Plus if you aren’t already following The Tennis Times on Twitter then why the hell not!

Roger Federer Wins Wimbledon Title and 15th Grand Slam

Roger Federer has won an epic 15th Grand Slam title with an amazing win over Andy Roddick. The match itself was just dominated by serving and neither of the players really gained much of an advantage on the ground.

Roddick had his chances and even lead a set and 6-2 in the second set tiebreak, but was unable to finish off the set and missed a couple of sitters which allow Federer back into the match.

Roddick lost his serve for the first time in the match in the very last game. Final score 5-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 16-14.

It was great to see Roger win the title, but I felt so sorry for Andy because today he gave more than 100% and was still just pipped at the post to a Wimbledon title.
