1. Despite fending off Ernests Gulbis in four sets at the U.S. Open early Saturday morning, Andy Roddick's overtly stressful second-round match was an ominous sign the world has caught up. <br /><br />2. He is not the more complete player. He is a terrible match player. <br /><br />He used to destroy Djokovic in practice sessions but could never translate that to actual match play. So Nole has a winning record against him where it counts. <br /><br />Certainly Gulbis has talent but that counts for little if you panic in winning situations. And he always has done. He has infuriated me for two years now. <br /><br />Roddick's game is limited but he maximizes his talent. Gulbis is the exact opposite.
