just watched the replay of that awarding ceremony...those Amis! giving AA so much attention as if he was the one who won the tournament, too much blah blah blah, Mattress Mac on an ego trip, i want to thank my lovely wife, blah blah blah, the fans, i'm friends of Steffi, Andre.blah blah blah...aren't you supposed to congratulate the winner first? at least AA praised Roger & his game, then finally Pat Mc remembered Roger, seating there quietly on his bench, called him out like a little boy, "c'mon Roger and get your keys to this thing", then a lackluster intro of the 2003 Tennis Master. Had that been 'Dre he would have screamed his lungs out. Roger gracefully thanked the ATP, Jim, and the people involved, that he didn't see much of Houston cuz it was hotel to the venue, but that everyone was nice and that he hoped to be back next year. Mirka looked like she was gonna cry. Then Roger lifts his trophy, close up, and behind was McIngvale's face, looking grim & nasty. :ass: It's also interesting to note that the very same naked lads with Andy/AA signs painted on their torsos during the event were the same ones that lifted this humongous banner which said 'Thank You Jim & Linda' I'm sure that after this those Amis will recognize who's got the best game in the business. Take that! But so happy for Roger. He really deserves this, he's been brilliiant the whole week and it's really been a wonderful year for him. Too bad i won't be around for the Sports Awards. Have to ask someone to tape it for me...

And wouldn't you know it, Mrs. B, ESPN cut out Roger's speech and awarding. So all the Americans saw was Mattress Mac praising himself and Agassi's speech Yeah, MM hired those guys with their bellies painted. He also had ball boys spell out Agassi's name during the RR match vs Federer. I'm glad to see it didn't get to him It's so nice when class wins out in the end. We were robbed of it at the USO, so it's great to see a reversal of fortune here. Even if it was at, hands down, the joke event of the year.

when Roger spoke out his mind what he thought of the courts, they read him out the Riot Act! and he sure did cause a riot! kicked their home faves out! :lmao: wished the top 8 (non Ami) players would just boycott Houston next year! :satan:

Only ROGI could keep me up til 2.00am to watch his match! Heaven... I'm in heaven... But his brilliant victory was marred by the ridiculous "ceremony"... what a disgrace! By that low-class salesguy MM, P Mac and even AA... Excuse me, but WHO was the winner here?? Duh! I felt badly for ROGI who had to sit thru all the b------t! He must have been wondering WTF! That dumbass barely mentioned Rogi's name... The whole thing was simply deplorable... bad manners, bad form, sour grapes, utterly disgusting! Just negated Rogi's amazing week. To top it off, of course they cut off Rogi's speech -- so I don't even get one word from him, the champion. Not only that but I noticed there wasn't much cheering for him when he won... really bad... Shanghai was far superior, even tho they were novices. I think the non-Amers s boycott... they kept showing that ass throughout the match -- what a dork! And his hastily scribbled "speech" more like an homage to AA and Steffi... honestly! Just cos his precious Amers didn't win the tourney... well, Rogi showed them and he won despite all the crap. So, congrats to ROGI, you are the best!! #1 in 2004??? Boy Amers are sore losers! Childish and bratty behavious fr the top down...

No, I think the non-Americans will show up next year, well prepared, to kick all the Americans (if there's any) :ass: so we will see 'that' face of Mattress Man.

Hi Rogerittas!!!! Just wanted to congratulate you and Rogi on his win Not much to add, everyone's been praising him for his great play. I'm especially happy that he got 2 mokeys off his back. Bring on 2004!

Does anyone know where I could get one of those cool Swedish shirts the fans wear? I always see them at Roger's matches and i really want one to wear while cheering him on! They're red and have the swiss cross on it. If anyone knows where to get one please tell me! may thanks.
