You have to love that set up... There is a bad call, he is pissed about it, then that... Brilliant...

I could be wrong, but wasn't that a commercial?

AWESOME

This was a commercial. Here's a thread on Google Answers about whether or not this was real:

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=29927

I think the story is real but the footage not...

Indeed a commercial, and there's nothing to suggest the story is real either, although I'm sure Roddick loves that it continues to be believed.

Just think about how hard it would be to get ANYTHING into a clay court, let alone a tennis ball.

From Sports Illustrated 2003:
"Awhile back, a commercial featured Andy Roddick serving on red clay. When he served, the ball stuck on the clay in the service box. Please confirm for me that this was fake, and help me set a simple-minded friend straight.
--James, Champaign, Ill.
It was indeed fake. I once asked Roddick how they filmed it and he wouldn't give the details up. "

And from the Google thread posted by Zifnab, the page from the agency that created the ad: http://www.methodstudios.com/index.cgi?f=o&f2=x&f3=455&f4=&c=pxaGKuu

You know it is fast when they measure it in fractions of the speed of light.

"That was .35c..."

That's right, I made a relativity joke. Jealous.

...and i'll hopefully observe the dopplar shift as you are taken far far away from here by the fastest taxi available that i'm about to phone for you, cos that was awful

It is so cool that even though it didn't happen, I still want to believe it did!
