Hahaha.. the power of the media.. I see why sometimes, there can be so much misunderstanding and how things, when taken out of context can have totally different meanings.

I took this off 2 different match reports of the semi-final match of Wimbledon between Thomas Johansson and Andy Roddick. Roddick won the match partly due to a lucky shot. So here is Roddick's comment on it:

" The timing could not have been better for me, " Roddick said of the net cord. "I felt guilty about it."

versus

"Commenting on the net cord in the final tie-break, Roddick said: "It was lucky. The timing of it could not have been any better for me. I felt guilty about it for a second then I got over it."

The truncating of a few words... 'for a second then I got over it' makes the 2 statements sound different.. Hahaha...

Ok.. enought tennis mania... Tmr's exciting match up.. Roger Federer vs Andy Roddick in the Finals...
