WIMBLEDON, England -- At Andy Roddick's rental house, one recent conversation turned toward Wimbledon's first week.

Roger Federer was calm and cheerful before the United States Open draw Thursday afternoon, and he was still calm and cheerful afterward.

While most of the words after Sunday's epic men's final at Wimbledon rushed to praise Roger Federer after his history-making victory, the picture that took hold came from the other side: the pain etched in the face of Andy Roddick in defeat. As much as we love to revel with the victor, none of us knows what it's like to win 15 Grand Slams and almost all of us know what it's like to have a dream crushed. So the celebration is nice. The pain, which even Roddick could not hide with his defense-mechanism wisecrack humor , hits home. The Brits seem to understand the appeal of the tragic hero more than most, writes Filip Bondy in The New York Daily News, and Roddick's role in the match was captured eloquently by Simon Barnes in The Times of London and Martin Samuel in The Daily Mail. The former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker wrote in The Telegraph that Roddick lost because he stopped believing, but it was hard to blame him. He knew what he was up against. Everyone had come to watch Federer make tennis history. Even Roddick's old friend Pete Sampras had flown in for No. 15. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

But as cruel as the concept began to seem as both players continued to invest in the outcome, Wimbledon's latest epic had to finish. And as poignant as it should seem to those who know how long Roddick has been chasing sunlight in Federer's shadow, Federer was the one who again ended up holding the trophy.
