Reaction to the Roddick/Federer match is all over twitter. Trending topics include Wimbledon, Roger Federer, Grand Slam, Pete Sampras and sadly, “Poor Roddick.” Since Andy is a twitter star we hope he sees the messages later this evening. 

Bob & Mike Bryan, who lost the doubles final yesterday to Zimonjic and Nestor, tweeted:

BryanbrosUnbelievable match. Loved the way Andy battled. He played awesome and showed why he is a champion. Proud to call him my teammate and friend

Meanwhile, journalist Ian Wiley said the press gave Roddick a standing O:

ianwylie Andy Roddick looked totally devastated at his press conf here at Wimbledon. We gave him a round of applause as he left. 

And Wimbledon’s twitter feed said:

WimbledonRoddick receives a round of applause as he leaves the press conference. The American was very subdued.

leaveitmark gutted for andy roddick.federer in his gold nike is not ‘humble’ in anyway.

dewar101 Andy Roddick lost Wimbledon… but lost it in style. And, more importantly, he gets to go home with Brooklyn Decker.

KimLe18 RT @davidfeldt: McEnroe has called Federer the greatest ever but couldn’t get Laver, Samprasor Borg to say it. #wimbledon (via@jeffjarvis)

davidsteven Rt @tobyharnden Lucky it was Roger #Federerplaying Andy #Roddick. If It’d been Sarah #Palin she’d have quit after the 4th set

lionintheusa OMG, what a great Wimbledon finale ! This was an instant classic. Federer wins a record 15th Grand Slam. I feel bad for Andy Roddick though.

krispauls Stay classy andy roddick. You went down swinging and at least you weren’t wearing a shirt Embroidered with your personal logo.
