@sauceyboy his forehand was one of the most powerfull on tour, but it seem´s like he´s more about control, than power nowaday´s, on groundstrokes, personally I suspect, that he´s using a different tension on his string bed these day´s..
Well, his foot has passed very slightly the perpendicular line and many consider the closed stance as being a white or black zone; from the moment it crosses this 90 degree line, it is closed.
But, I'd agree with you because his foot didn't totally passed.
jumps a little too high dosent it? oh well hes definedly gaining under stefanki (cant spell), and acutally hitting it loads flatter now. finally, ever since i started watching roddick, i get to see a flat roddick forehand :D
He plays better when he ballbashes

Roddick is probably the worst at forehand winners in the top 10.

Roddick rarely hits a forehand winner from the baseline anymore.

@quest8899 theres really no point to, its a low percentage play. unless ball had bounced before the service line or something
