In his press conference Tuesday, Andy Roddick had some fun with questions about alleged injuries to Novak Djokovic, his quarterfinal opponent, a regular patient of ATP trainers. From the U.S. Open transcript:

I’m sitting here at 8:30 a.m. ET listening to the first men’s semifinal between the world’s number two and three players on Radio Roland Garros over the web.  The announcers are very good, just comparing Nadal’s dominance of Djokovic as a duck hunter who is stalking a duck and taking his time before shooting (Nadal [...]

The battle for the world’s number two ranking between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, and a fired-up Frenchman vying to claim his country’s first men’s singles title since Yannick Noah in 1983, will take to the red clay stage of the French Open on Friday. If Djokovic can beat Nadal, he will move into [...]
