You don't like me, you really don't like me!

First
Serena Williams looked like a baby on Twitter, now it’s
Andy Roddick’s turn.
On Tuesday,
Roddick re-Tweeted a message from one of his account followers with the handle
“@annahandzlik” who wrote
“This may not be very American of me but I will root against @anyroddick any match, any time. Not a fan.”
Roddick then Tweeted his commentary that
“There were about 5 more like this … am I crazy for thinking that one should probably not follow someone that one doesn’t like?”
Kudos to Roddick for his excellent use of grammar, something Serena could definitely learn from, but Ms. Handzlik came back with the shot of the month, Tweeting
“Maybe @andyroddick should spend less time searching his name on twitter and more time on winning something … anything.”
As Homer Simpson once said, “It’s funny because it’s true.”
It also gives Mr. Roddick an object lesson in what happens when you try to be reasonable with fans of your sport. Anna Handzlik is clearly a tennis fan and has been in attendance at the Legg Mason Classic of late, posting a number of photos from the tournament via Twitter and pointing out Roddick exhibiting “elitist” behavior and calling his on-court attitude “disastrous.”
Tennis fans have been criticizing players since Day One of the Tour, and it does seem extremely odd that Roddick took offense to the point of getting in a brief “Twit War’ with her.
Now personally, if I played a game for a living, raked in millions a year in endorsements, and oh by the way, went home to
Brooklyn Freakin' Decker every night, I think I would have better things to do than snipe at people I’ve never heard of for calling me mean names.
Fortunately Roddick, who is
supposed to be in the middle of the tournament, was able to shake off the mean girl’s remarks and Tweet throughout the day Wednesday on such engaging topics as Brett Favre’s retirement and who would win a fight between Chuck Norris, the guy on the Old Spice commercials and the “Most Interesting Man in the World” campaign from the Dos Equis campaign.
