Andy Roddick Fuming Over Rome Fine for Him and Mardy Fish
It seems as though Andy Roddick has spoken out about his recent docking of prize money due to an injury.
“We’re going to have to beg for the money we’ve earned. Why should Mardy be punished when I can’t play? Mardy has played the (semifinal) match, he won the match, he earned the money, you can’t take away something he has already done. This is embarrassing for the tour.”
Andy was talking about the fine him and Mardy Fish received ($42,800) when they pulled out of the Rome doubles final.
Sharapova Beats Stosur to Win Rome Title
After she has won the Italian Open, which is the biggest clay-court title yet of her career, Maria Sharapova proves to be back again!
In the final of the tournament in Rome, Sharapova faced Samantha Stosur. After a three-hour rain delay, Sharapova swept the first four games, playing aggressively and consistently throughout. The top-spinning Australian was not in her best form, as the Russian was eager to capture the title and did so in a quick fashion, beating Stosur with a score of 6-2 6-4, in 1 hour and 23 minutes.
This is blissful news for Sharapova, since the French Open is a week ahead and she is looking to perform well in the only Grand Slam that she hasn’t won.
“I’m so excited to be able to be champion of this tournament,” said former world number one Sharapova.
Congrats, Sharapova! Wishing you luck in Paris!
