"This is the only final besides the 2004 Wimbledon final that I can say I've played my best tennis and lost."

"Sure I'm disappointed now, but I'm sure I will look back at this week as a success. Hopefully this is a turning point."

Andy Roddick lost the RCA Championship tournament to James Blake in three sets. The tournament was held in Indianapolis, just down the road from me. This is Blake's first win in Indianapolis; Roddick won in 2003, the year he won the U.S. Open.

At age 23, Roddick has one Grand Slam win under his belt. If he isn't careful, he's going to be another Michael Chang - one and done.
