Quick Tennis Update

Huuuge props to Andy Roddick, who pulled out of the Men's Dubai Tennis Tournament this past weekend while still in Memphis playing last week's tourney.

Roddick will miss out on defending his ranking points, as well as a hefty appearance fee saying, “I really didn’t agree with what went on over there,” he said of the tournament denying Shahar Peer a spot in the draw. “I don’t know if it’s the best thing to mix politics and sports, and that was probably a big part of it.”

It takes a lot for an international sports star to give up potential (and guranteed) money to make a political stand. If you weren't already a fan of Roddick, you should be now.
