Memphis ATP 500 - Final
1 Andy Roddick d W/C Milos Raonic - 76(7) 67(11) 75
This was certainly a thriller - but absent from this match was a rally or two.
I jest - some of the rallies toward the end of the match were quite fun.
But with 52 aces between them for awhile there it felt like a serving contest.
Andy collects his 3rd title in Memphis and his 30th ATP career title.
Only 2 other active players have 30+ titles: Federer (67) and Nadal (43).
He also extends his yearly title streak to 11 years - back to Atlanta in '01.
Andy may have hit the greatest match point ever - see video below.
Andy: That is the best shot I have ever hit.
As the #1 seed at Delray Beach next week he'll face Dudi Sela - H2H: 1-1.

As for Milos... this effort will take him to a ranking of #37 tomorrow.
Making him the highest ranked Canadian of all time.
Andy to Milos: Coming from an old guy who's seen a lot of players...
You have a very very bright future.
Something tells me Milos' face is gonna be all over Canada soon.
