Faces Of The Day

US Andy Roddick grimaces as he faces German Tommy Haas during their ATP Madrid Masters claycourt tournament's match on May 13, 2009.

I'm shocked. I said I would be. Grimaces and a terrible break point conversion stat aside, Andy Roddick left his heart on the red clay as he overcame two match points to defeat Tommy Haas in his first match since getting married. No small ask given the American's 0-4 record on clay and 4-7 record overall against the German.

Bravo.
