Let Andy eat cake

Andy Roddick after Serena Williams, that’s back-to-back nights of surly athletes in the press room. Roddick actually glared at a few reporters who asked him questions that rubbed him the wrong way.
Then there was the piece of cake. Michael Barkann of USA Network asked Federer about his training method and then made a joke by saying piece of cake, eh? Federer then repeated the phrase.
Roddick heard that phrase and thought it was referring to the match, which seemed to contribute to his mood.
“I’m just saying contrarty to what was said, I hope it wasn’t a piece of cake,” Roddick said. “It certainly didn’t feel that way from my end.”
Not to the top seed either.
Federer confirmed that he was referring to his training, and then said of Barkann, “I guess he thought he was funny.”
So please, no more pastry-laced controversy.
But I go back to what I said about Serena. I’d be more worried if Roddick weren’t angry. He played really well, and still lost in straight sets. Hard to find perspective in 20 minutes.
