Anatomy Of An Andy Roddick Dive On Championship Point

Milos Raonic is serving at 30-40 in the third set at 5-6 with a Championship point opportunity on the Andy Roddick side to win the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships tennis tournament in Memphis. Milos serves and then hits three consecutive shots to Andy’s backhand. As he ventures to the net, Milos hits a volley to Andy’s right side. Andy runs..

Andy makes contact with the ball mid-dive.

Left hand down for balance, Andy watches as the ball goes over the net and in the court while Milos stands and watches it drop.

Andy’s hat fell off. He lies on the court doing a cobra yoga pose.

It went in. He won. He throws his hands up in the air singing ayyy-oh.

A little blood? Worth it for your 30th ATP title. Andy wins: 7-6, 6-7, 7-5.
