Andy Roddick's U.S. Open win over Fabrice Santoro last night came to a strange ending, when on the next-to-last point, Roddick's serve almost hit Santoro. Santoro said it was intentional, and a dirty play. You be the judge:

Santoro was so upset that he refused to play the final point, and he had harsh words for Roddick after the match.
Santoro said:
"The match was over. I was a little bit disappointed with the way he served the point before....

"He served straight at me for sure," Santoro said. "That's a good strategy during the match, but it was almost over. He realized it was kind of a mistake." When told Roddick said he was aiming for the T, Santoro said, "Then it was the biggest mistake of his life. When he serves for the T, he gets the T."

Roddick said he wasn't trying to hit Santoro, and I believe him. Furthermore, I think it's bush league of Santoro to refuse to contest the final point. Roddick comes out of this little controversy looking a lot better than Santoro does, and not just because he won the match.
