Who knew that Roddick was a great silent actor?



This spot would not be nearly as rich if they gave Roddick any lines. Instead he is left to mug, and proves himself a brilliant mugger. The moment they stick the laptop in his hand he does a neck-whipping doubletake, and his subsequent expressions of silent fury are a great self-lampoon of his on-court antics. His closing look of disgust almost steals the whole show -- until Bill Kurtis plants a sweet kiss of triumph on the trophy.
