Similar to the Roger washed up thread, I think we need to cut Andy a little slack - he was playing some great tennis in the spring (Indian Wells, Miami). Who knows how much the mono came into play for his Wimbledon loss. Think back to Fed's tight match against Janko and then loss to Djokovic at the AO before he knew he had mono.

Do I think Andy is likely to capture more GS hardware? unlikely, but I wouldn't give up on him as a top 10 player just yet. (and for the record, I've never been a big Roddick fan).

I also think he over-reacted last night, but the continued outburst was more reflective of his frustration in the match than at the call - the call just gave him a good excuse to let off steam. (He also didn't threaten to stuff any balls down anyone's throat - more "name-calling" than anything else).
