“I’ll watch Andy, for sure,” Blake said. “I love to see him doing well. Watched him today, his last match. He’s playing great. I’m real proud of him. I want him to do as well as possible. I would have loved to have met him in the semifinals and had another thriller. He’s doing great, playing exceptional tennis. I’d love to see him bust through here and win — take one of these titles away from Federer or Nadal. He’s got a tough run obviously. I love the way he’s playing, love the way he’s competing. Just serving huge, as always. I’ll watch a lot of those matches. Hopefully he’s got plenty more left.”
Federer has beaten Roddick in their last nine matches, and 12 of 13 career.
