Title: Federer-Roddick match
Post by: shmokes on January 30, 2007, 04:28:22 am

Does anyone know where I can find a video of this entire match from the Australian Open?  My Tivo didn't get it and all I can find is highlights.  I'd really like to see the entire match.

I don't see it anywhere online (including newsgroups).  You really didn't miss much though.  The best part of the match was Roddick's post match press conference, but that wasn't aired until during the Gonzolas/Haas match.

I got a hit by googling "roddick federer australian bittorrent":

I didn't check the link, however.

Thanks a lot.  Hopefully there will be enough seeders that I'll get it before long.  I actually saw the Roddick press conference.  Hillarious.  You gotta give the guy credit.  His sense of humor is pretty commendable considering the circumstances.

I understand that the game will not be especially nail-biting, but from what I understand it is also one of the most brilliant performances in the history of tennis.  I've been led to believe that Roddick wasn't playing poorly at all, but that Federer simply gave the greatest performance of his career.

Wow, that torrent is downloading incredibly fast.  Over 100 KB/s.  That, coupled with the fact that it is a WMV leads me to believe that it will be DRMed and will make me pay for a license to view it.  Hopefully they'll only want a couple of bucks or it'll be back to the drawing board for me.
