Andy goes for trophy instead of gold...

Andy Roddick, in action Friday night, is now in the semifinals of the Countrywide Classic at UCLA. America's top player, the 2003 US Open champion and leader of the reigning champion US Davis Cup team, opted to skip playing for the gold medal at the Olympics to play some tournaments back home to prepare for the US Open.

I hope he gets the wins he needs because it's a real shame to not have America;s best out there at The Games.
