Federer is in Roddick´s head just like Nadal is in Federer´s head. The big difference is that Federer is a better player then Roddick. Nadal isn´t better then Federer.
I don´t think you can say he does it all the time, that was an incredible top spin forehand shot.. I think he pulls shot´s like that in matches, when he´s in the zone!
"Sometimes, it's appropriate just to give thanks. And we should be thankful to live in an era where we're able to withness the brilliance of this man."
Couldn't have said better. How Federer doesn't have any weak point; you get desparate if he leads and you're amazed when he comes back if you lead. Because, yes, he comes back.
Love Roddick's forehand though; wonder how Roger could return such a devastating weapon with offencive shots like he did. Sure Roddick wonders it too.
I have to say Federer has played some of his best ever tennis at the Shanghai Indoor area for the TMC. I hope the O2 arena lives up to expectations and provides more amazing matches in the future.
TMC 08 was a bit of a dud, but 07,06,05,04,03 had some intense matches, beautiful tennis
Federer vs. Roddick is similar to Sampras vs. Becker. Fed and Pete are leaner and move around the court easier, and they have better shot variation. Becker and Roddick are big, stocky guys.
run run rodrod run, run back home again. entsetzlich wie er untergeht, fast unangenehm berührend. und so reizbar und aufbrausend, ich kann ihn nicht leiden. rennt herum wie ein 12-jähriger nervöser hampelmann.
While Federer obviously hits the ball with more precision, as opposed to Roddick, who chooses to use more power with less precision, Federer's horizontal movement on the court is so much better than Roddick's, which may give more of the illusion that Federer has to run less.
Roddick is an offensive baseliner so he really needs to hit the ball with his winner. He really has to get in position for his killing blows unlike Federer who is an all-court player.
haha what a joke.. Federer is much more complete player then Nadal.. Its just proves that u simply dont know anything about tennis.. Rogers Got mono or had.. It takes time to recover after that kind of sicknes. Its not hard to see he feels bad on court. Just look at those games and compare to those he played in 2008...

Roddick just beat Federer in Miami (Thu, April 3, 2008)! This makes Roddick the 3rd greatest tennis player of all time (just behind Mardy Fish, and WAY behind Rafael Nadal who is the greatest there ever will be)! By the way, I would put Roger Federer OUTSIDE of the 100 greatest tennis players of all time.
fuck y doesnt roger play like this against djokovic. djokovic is a defensive player so fed needs to finish points off at the net.and roddick didnt even look at fed when they shook hands,typical sore american loser!
Roddick is too slow and predictable. Roddick goes to net on the most pathetic shots. Roddick's forehand is pure garbage too much top spin and not enough power. Roddick is on his way out. He has already been passed by Djokovic and he will be passed by the other young players.
for some reason I like to watch andy play as well..he´s exciting when he plays good,people must expect alot from him,but I don´t imagine people know how much andy expects from himself..andy needs to relax, to focus more..
There were several moments when Andy had Fed on his back foot, leading to a short ball waiting to be attacked by Andy. However, he is still behind the baseline every single time.
The few times that he does move in and attack, he mostly hits approach shots to set up his volley (which isn't the best...).
If he would just anticipate the short ball and take his chances and try to rip some winners from inside the baseline, who knows how many more winners he could've made.
Federer uses his power, and beats him with power(uses roddicks power) en beats him tactical. Federer anticipate Roddicks game very well. Thats why Roddick loses all the time from Federer
It looks like Roddick has too many shadows following him. He is expected to get better because Jimmy Coners is his coach. He doesn't need to follow in a legends footsteps, he needs to do whats best for Andy. Work on his own game, stay focus, stay serious, leave the jokes and temper in the locker room.
Andy Roddick is too heavy he's slow. Roddick is a tennis player not a body builder he looks too big. If Roddick got into better shape and worked on his footwork maybe he would be a better player.
As long as I can see the ball I don't care if its not 720p

Nadal is a 3 time French Open winner while Roddick is still a one slam wonder!
Roddick hasn't been in the top 3 for a couple of years now and there's 1940 points between Andy and Novak and 3205 points between he and Nadal
