For the birds- Andy Roddick trips over line judge at Australian Open

Roddick joked that he ran into a inmovable object and that the judge had a career in professional wrestling ahead of him. From AP-

Andy Roddick took a tumble on his way to a first-round win Monday, tripping over the foot of a line judge.

Roddick rolled to the ground and angrily reproached the man when he stood.

“Move out of the way when you see a player coming,” Roddick told the official before resuming the match with Thiemo de Bakker of the Netherlands and winning 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.

Roddick, who is just coming off a knee injury, said he was all right after the collision. I do like that he felt good enough to joke about it afterwards.

Seagull

A seagull walks on the court as French Fabrice Santoro looks on during their men’s singles first round match against Croatia’s Marin Cilic at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia Monday.

Where was the stadium police when this was happening? That trespasser should have had his wings clipped!
