VIDEO: ANDY RODDICK NAILS TWO GUYS IN THE ASS

By

Published: 15 January 2010 1:48 PM ESTPosted in: tennis

Andy Roddick is known for his powerful serve. He’s been clocked at 155 mph in the past. So you probably don’t want to be on the receiving end of that bad boy… especially with your ass.

James Blake recently had the displeasure of being targeted by Roddick’s serve. Blake lost a practice match to Roddick and was forced to line up and face Andy’s stroke. As you can see, Blake and one buddy are smart enough to straddle their racquets for sack protection. The guy on the right isn’t so lucky. Roddick impressively manages to hit two of them. More entertaining than the infliction of pain was the chatter from both sides. Here’s the exchange:

“Ohhhh… he’s HAMMERING me!” – guy in three-man wall
“I wanted to spread the love around a little bit.” – Andy Roddick

Nope, tennis isn’t gay at all. Not one bit. Here’s the video (hit the play button in the lower left):

GALLERY: MARIA SHARAPOVA SHINES FOR TIFFANY & CO

Sasha Vujacic’s girlfriend is going back to work. Maria Sharapova is in Australia this week gearing up for the 2010 Australian Open. Before the tournament goes down next week, she had a promotional stop at Tiffany & Co.

Sharapova appeared at the Melbourne Tiffany & Co. store and showed off the Paloma Picasso Tiffany & Co. earrings that she’ll be wearing in the tournament. I’m guessing that means they’re expensive. As part of the partnership, Sharapova will wear a set of Tiffany & Co. earrings in each of the four grand slam tournaments.

After the jump, you can check out 30 pics of Maria down under at Tiffany & Co.

Maria Sharapova hasn’t been very busy lately. But she did make a trip to Chile last week. Here’s how the Examiner described the visit:

The tall Sharapova took advantage of the break for winter to visit Chile for the Cachantun Fashion Show. She was a special guest, and also walked down the runway. While she was in Santiago, Sharapova also took part in an exhibition tennis match with Argentina’s Gisela Dulko that was dubbed the “Beauty Challenge.” Sharapova won the match, 6-1, 6-3.

We’ve got a handful of pics from the occasion. And no, she did not bring Sasha Vujacic with her. Maria opted for a skirt that showed off her extremely long legs. We certainly won’t complain.

You can check out 10+ pics of Miss Sharapova after the jump.

Ana Ivanovic is the hottest Russian tennis player this side of Maria Sharapova. Heck, we may even like her more. Brunettes need love too. Plus, she’s not dating Sasha Vujacic.

Ana was recently in the studio for an Adidas photoshoot. The six-foot-tall Russian wore bright yellow as she posed for new adidas promotional images. I’m not sure when or where the images will be used, but Ivanovic looks quite nice.

MARIA SHARAPOVA IS SLUMMING WITH SASHA VUJACIC

sasha_vujacic_maria_sharapova

Maria Sharapova has a new boyfriend according to SPORTSbyBROOKS. He happens to be one of my least favorite people: Sasha Vujacic.

The man known as The Machine was recently seen cozying up to Sharapova at a U2 concert. Sharapova keeps her personal life pretty private. The last person she was rumored to be dating was Charlie Ebersol, son of NBC’s Dick Ebersol. I also feel like I remember hearing rumors that she was dating Freddy Adu a few years ago. Both Adu and Sharapova trained at IMG facilities in Bradenton, Florida. I don’t have any links to back that up though.

I have my doubts as to whether their relationships can last. Sasha Vujacic is a huge douchebag. And Maria is going to be crushed to learn that he’s probably still in a relationship with Kobe Bryant. Or did they break up?

JIM BROWN GOT SERVED BY 9-YEAR-OLD ANDRE AGASSI

Jim Brown is arguably the best all-around athlete of all time. Brown was one of the best high school lacrosse players ever, averaged 38 points per game on his basketball team, and then went on to set NFL records in rushing. The guy is a certified freak and could probably take you down in any sport. Unless you’re Andre Agassi.

Yahoo’s Shutdown Corner reports that Jim Brown encountered a 9-year-old Agassi back in 1979. Brown was in Vegas at a tennis club when his playing partner bailed. The former NFL star was looking to make a wager and that’s when Mike Agassi suggested that he play his young son. Apparently, Mike Agassi initially offered to bet his HOUSE but then Brown lowered the terms to a mere $10,000.

Brown was even warned by the owner of the club not to play the future tennis star. But after a short interrogation session, Brown decided he’d take the kid on after playing two practice sets. Little Andre dusted Brown 6-3 and 6-3 so Brown offered to bet $500 on the next set. Agassi dropped Brown 6-2 and took the prize.

ANDRE AGASSI DABBLED IN CRYSTAL METH

Andre agassi loves to party

Does this look like a man who would use methamphetamine? By now, you may know that Andre Agassi has revealed that he used meth in 1997.

The story is pretty incredible. Back in the day, Agassi employed an “assistant” named “Slim” who regularly used meth. The former tennis star was down in the dumps when he decided to hit Slim’s stash. He later wrote a letter to the ATP in which he claimed he had accidentally taken the substance.

Agassi’s revelation is about a 7 out of 10 on the surprisingly scale. I’m more shocked that it was shaved-head Andre Agassi who used drugs rather than flamboyant long-haired Agassi. It’s also ridiculous that the ATP bought his bullsh*t story and got off the hook. One has to wonder if Richard Gasquet really “accidentally” ingested cocaine. I think not.

SPAIN-NADAL-TROPHY-GODO

Congratulations to Rafa Nadal for winning the Barcelona Open five times in a row. He was honored by the Barcelona Royal Tennis Club with a replica of the “Condo de Godo” trophy.

The trophy is pretty sweet. Unfortunately, Rafa wore a ridiculous shirt with a picture of himself on it. The next time people honor me, I’m also going to wear sweatpants and a t-shirt with my face on it. I might have bring my own trophy though.

Caroline Wozniacki is a Danish tennis player. You may remember her beating Melanie Oudin at the US Open. It turns out that she comes from a family of athletes. She even likes handball.

She’s also damn good at tennis and currently ranks #5 in the world. She’s won three singles tournaments in 2009 including the MPS Group Championships, AEGON International, and the Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament.

Most recently, she was forced to withdraw from the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. Down 0-5 to the similarly named Aleksandra Wozniak, Wozniacki retired from the match due to a viral illness. After Tokyo, she was eliminated from the China Open in the second round.

After the jump, we’ve got images from her matches in Madrid and Tokyo. She’s wearing teal in Madrid and gray in Tokyo.
