  • bamafun, on 01/14/2008, -28/+12yes nice serve, but My favorite is still Agassi even though he retired.
    • msaleem, on 01/14/2008, -6/+11Federer any day of the week.
      • simoncoul, on 01/14/2008, -3/+7This is for like a powerade/gaterade commercial, it's good but not real.
        • nospinhere, on 01/14/2008, -2/+6Federer is a bore, and his fans are some of the most annoying in the world. Case in point, you.
      • borninda818, on 01/14/2008, -3/+6Federer is well rounded and goddly, but no one beats Roddick at serves. And I agree with bamafun, Agassi is a legend. Call me a pansy if you'd like but I got choked up when he retired. I watched it live, a truly beautiful moment.
    • hmunkey, on 01/14/2008, -1/+8Agassi was a classic, as was Sampras.
  • oooCPRooo, on 01/14/2008, -42/+3that defies physics
  • gregdogum, on 01/14/2008, -20/+12Wow, this is really old . . . here is a discussion about it's accuracy and validity http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=29 ... Decide for yourself it is real.
  • JasonFalls, on 01/14/2008, -21/+3Shan't not ***** him off, I suppose.
    • TrevorBelmont, on 01/14/2008, -0/+3"Shan't" is a contraction of the words "shall" and "not". You've just said "Shall not not ***** him off".
  • brentinkc, on 01/14/2008, -29/+6Even if it's not real, pretty cool video.
  • nshady, on 01/14/2008, -10/+82I liked how everyone was like 'um...where'd the ball go' for about five seconds.
    • FatPhizzle, on 01/14/2008, -0/+53i was looking for the ball from the beginning of the video. i couldn't make out the ball at all cuz the quality of that vid sucks. Only at the end when they showed a close up of the ball in the ground did i finally get my first glimpse of the ball.
    • Matt174e, on 01/14/2008, -1/+1Same here. I read this comment before watching the vid and kept looking for the ball the whole time.
  • OffPiste, on 01/14/2008, -19/+6Take that Eurotrash!
  • THETEH, on 01/14/2008, -12/+5Meh, that's nothing! You should see what he did to a bowling ball!
  • afred, on 01/14/2008, -3/+106Powerade...
  • gerrymac, on 01/14/2008, -8/+1"Yeah he's hot" alright.
  • mets91, on 01/14/2008, -15/+231This is not real, it was an advertisement.
    • jtwyrrpirate, on 01/14/2008, -5/+75yup, Powerade ad from a few years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swg_bzE6_Yc
      • Pulch, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1I thought Powerthirst used the footage for the ad, and that it was real.....
      • jacen, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1Hmmm.... Dude, I think its real. Notice how the Digg story has extended footage and has no Powerade advert at the end. While the other one is extremely shortened and has the advert. Other people are saying this is an actually match.
    • MaTT2011, on 01/14/2008, -2/+27My illusion! Its been shattered! nooooeeeess!
    • TridenTBoy, on 01/14/2008, -2/+9NOOOO!!!!!!!!!
      • jordanlgta, on 01/14/2008, -1/+3You may only have three diggs, but your comment was spot on.
      • tyywebb, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1/Darth Vader
    • colosis, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2its ironic because at the end it says very REAL power
    • Archaic1, on 01/14/2008, -0/+11aw, I think I would have prefered to believe it was real :(
    • illwil, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2Art imitates Life?
  • mortigon, on 01/14/2008, -11/+4I don't know much about tennis, but that was amazing.
    • jwolcott, on 01/14/2008, -2/+3Yup, CGI is really amazing, almost magical, yet gracious.
  • troyhw, on 01/14/2008, -11/+4Photoshopped.
  • martoq, on 01/14/2008, -8/+43Tomorrows headlines..."Congress to investigate drug use in Tennis"
  • TsuruchiBrian, on 01/14/2008, -39/+12That would be so ***** cool if tennis wasn't gay.
    • hawarkarem, on 01/14/2008, -6/+4you're gay
    • pilot101, on 01/14/2008, -7/+0ur gay
    • h4rdcor3, on 01/14/2008, -1/+6lets see you play a match first. Bet you couldn't make it through a 3 set match.
      • TsuruchiBrian, on 01/14/2008, -7/+5I couldn't make it through prison either. That doesn't make prison "not gay".
        • esotericguy, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2.....I put on my robe and wizard hat
  • Akraz, on 01/14/2008, -11/+5Imagine if it hit him in the balls

    • dakuneko, on 01/14/2008, -5/+1Damn straight!
    • TomTruelle, on 01/14/2008, -1/+41Exactly what I thought this video was gonna be. Needless to say, im extremely disappointed...
    • CocoDaPuf, on 01/14/2008, -1/+1You and me both.
    • blitzer, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5Hate to tell you guys... those arent panties.
      • tacojohn48, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2You shouldn't have ruined it for them.
      • BoneheadFarker, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1That doesn't bother me since they're still within 1 centimeter of the best place in the world...
  • Crossmenjeff, on 01/14/2008, -7/+2that game gets a lot less fun when that happens
  • girishmuraly, on 01/14/2008, -2/+19Pretty old video, am surprised why its surfacing up now.
    • bingobongony, on 01/14/2008, -1/+12Really? You are surprised? Are you new to Digg?
    • olibird, on 01/15/2008, -0/+1Probably because the Australian Open has just started.
  • univerio, on 01/14/2008, -8/+53How the hell did this make it to the front page?
  • HA5TY, on 01/14/2008, -2/+29wasn't that a powerade commercial?
  • RSS14, on 01/14/2008, -10/+24That's easy, all you do is hit the ball when it is at it's highest point. Mii do that all the time.
    • PopularNerd123, on 01/14/2008, -15/+2stfu u ***** liar, probably morbidly obese
      • KDAY12, on 01/14/2008, -3/+5Guess you didn't catch the Wii sports reference...
  • Igei, on 01/14/2008, -4/+44Thats pretty sweet....Oh wait its ***** fake.
  • djvariable, on 01/14/2008, -5/+0Yes it was. Im shocked it Digg this long to call that out.
  • beargrylls, on 01/14/2008, -7/+2These are the worst comments I've ever seen...
    • sixsidepentagon, on 01/14/2008, -1/+7Thanks for continuing the trend.
  • indigit4l, on 01/14/2008, -6/+1owned
  • AvidPreatorian, on 01/14/2008, -2/+11This is a clip from a commercial, come on now my lemmings.
  • jeremyfohferemy, on 01/14/2008, -11/+9dugg. INTO THE TENNIS COURT.
    • RevJonathan, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1apparently no one diggs puns anymore
      I lol'd
  • DemsFTW, on 01/14/2008, -4/+1"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
  • dgreichert, on 01/14/2008, -12/+7Seriously... does anyone on Digg watch TV? I can understand countless lolcats, Ron Pauls, and other brain damaging vids- but posting a mediocre powerade commercial that was lame after the 1st time and passing it off as real? wow. Digg needs seriously fixing.
    • disgruntledgoat, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2Nope no one on Digg watches TV we digg.
  • ufia, on 01/14/2008, -6/+1Tennis is the only sport in which questioning the ref's decision makes the player seem like a whiny bitch who think he's the Queen of England.
  • JohnPocket, on 01/14/2008, -6/+6I saw this approximately 2 years ago, I'm tired of seeing old media showing up on digg. wtf guys, recognize that if the vid is more than 6 months old, most digg users have seen it.
  • janoo1989, on 01/14/2008, -3/+3that musta been right after Mandy Moore
  • notluap, on 01/14/2008, -8/+14I watched this live as it happened. That would make it real. Powerade paid to use the footage in their commercial, obviously. Did that cross even one of your minds?
    • bingobongony, on 01/14/2008, -8/+6No, that would make you a liar.

      And honestly...what do you get out of this lie? That for a few seconds in your life someone pays attention to you, even if it is due to a lie?
  • fs88, on 01/14/2008, -6/+2people still think andy roddick is good?
  • Tripw0l, on 01/14/2008, -2/+1Chair Umpire - "Double-fault....."
  • DarkReign16, on 01/14/2008, -2/+2No hotness detected, fail, dugg down.
  • Zoshchenko, on 01/14/2008, -2/+1In the rule book under...."Hmmm, we never thought of that!"
  • twisteduo, on 01/14/2008, -8/+1You guys are freakin' idiots. This is totally fake, it's a clipped scene from that FOX show Reno 911. LAME, I can't believe you idiots think its real. What a joke. HA
  • bkrishnan, on 01/14/2008, -0/+13Am is the only one that was expecting some hot serve by the ladies?
  • MaXPL, on 01/14/2008, -2/+2wow please dont claim fake if you dont watch tennis. rodick used to serve 140+ consistently during his early years and this is entirely possible.
  • maddhopps, on 01/14/2008, -2/+3You diggers need to watch more TV. This was a very frequent commercial a few years ago. I probably saw it 58 times. (Or maybe I watch too much TV.)
  • tacojohn48, on 01/14/2008, -4/+5In case you didn't know this was a Powerade commercial.
    • lintmonkey, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1I didn't catch that -- was this a Powerade commercial?
  • champsampson, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2Dugg for linking to the Ballgirl's Highlights.
  • barthluk, on 01/14/2008, -3/+1nothing special do it all the time
  • terryfunk4life, on 01/14/2008, -2/+5This was not fake I remember seeing this on TV It was later used in an ad after it happened.
  • freakguy54321, on 01/14/2008, -1/+3this is older than the dinosaurs
    • 4LeggedtriPod, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2Why did all the become dinosaurs extinct?
  • CrudeDarkness, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1reminds me of the first episode of prince of tennis... hello any anime fans out there.
  • RevJonathan, on 01/14/2008, -0/+11Google search came up with this article: http://www.tennis.com/backcourt/general/backcourt. ...

    FTA: It is not the first time that Roddick has pitched a sports drink. In 2002, he appeared in a famous Powerade commercial that appeared to show Roddick serving an ace so hard that the ball penetrated the red clay surface and became lodged in the court. Narrated by Cliff Drysdale, the commercial resembled a real broadcast so closely that some were fooled into believing they were seeing genuine match footage.
  • bharadwajharish, on 01/14/2008, -0/+0Dunno but did he win the point ??or a reserve ??
