He rotates his upper body way to soon, totally offsetting the momentum of the rotation and then he ends up having to "arm" the shot. This is why Roddick is unable to penetrate the court with his forehand and was unable to stay at the top of the game, a shame considering the greatness of his serve.
Also his footwork is poor and he always seems to be playing catch-up, but this could also be helped by having a stronger forehand to dictate point play with...
Roddick doesn't hit deep enough, allowing Roger to dictate points. He also doesn't hit precisely enough, often mishitting into the middle of the court or even accidentally hitting to Federer's forehand.
the amazing thing about this clip, is that Roddick was playing flawlessly: no unforced errors, strong shots throughout the rallies. but Federer just ran circles around it, superhuman tennis. the way Roddick plays here, would have simply annihilated anyone else on the planet that day...
no.... he has no wimbledon points, murray's played all 4 and he only has 130 more points than nadal, and because yes, he only made the quarters at the australian where he was defending champion.without the missing wimbledon hed at least be number 3
federer missed out on two atp 500 tournaments and one 1000 tournament, thats equal to the total points nadal missed in wimbledon, 2000
yet federer is still way higher ranked
besides, wimbledon is not an excuse, nadal sacrificed his knees for the australian open title and the early season. wimbledon was the price to pay. basically, even if nadal had gone to wimby, he wouldnt even go past the early rounds
you asked why is nadal number 4, he's number 4 because he missed wimbledon, he'd be at least number 3 if had been able to play wimbledon. There is a difference, nadal missed wimbledon because he had to, his knees were injured. federer missed shanghai because he was TIRED although of everyone in the top ten barring murray federer plays the fewest number of events: 19, and he still gets "tired." And you cant equate a masters + two 500 events to missing a slam because 500 events are not mandatory.
"Destruction of Dreams"?!? :D what a way to hype things up :D actually, it's pretty funny :P
And I don't think that Roddick will advance to the top 4 and be able to hold his position. If Djokovic happens to find his form again, then It'll be tough on Roddick to get back to the top 4. As reefric said, he's a often a bit too conservative. He should play more like the way he played against Federer at the Masters Cup in 2006. Very aggressive, almost landed a win.
Despite Federer perhaps continuing to have Roddick's number I have no doubt that Roddick will advance to the top 4 and be able to hold his position there with his new level of fitness.
well, his serve is always going to be powerfull, but he´s not a high risk baseline basher like james blake, he´s actually to conservative at times and for that, get´s winner´s blown by him, when up agains´t great shotmaker´s like roger federer, im a real fan of andy´s, I wish him all the best just like you..

Federer played a game of I return better;move better;I am fasterI have better footwork;I can break your serve,I unlike you have more variety;I can drop shot you to death;I can make ALL of the 4 major FINALs unlike you and Sampras,I know how to approach better and yes my net game is better and I don't have to act like an ass to intimitate players;umpires to win matches
i desperatly wanted roddick to win: one for because ppl always want fed to win and two because he's improve so much recently and works his ass off, and deserves to win a big title. He defeintely has the ability to win another slam, but he has to beat the big guys first.
I was absolutely begging for Roddick to win, and I know a lot of other folk were, too.

I think most American tennis fans would be positively overjoyed if Roddick finally managed to beat Federer in a Slam.
its funny u shud say that, because i play tennis for my highschool and nobody on my team likes roddick at all, im and american fyi, i jist found that ironic.
being a british andy roddick is my favourite player, he has the mentality strength and power to be a great champ. just need to brush up on accuracy, changing his strategy and just more aggressive like he used to.
No highlights for Roddick?

@awesomerepublican probably, because every time, roddick play´s federer, arod is pushing, as hard as he
can, in order to try and overcome federer and both guy´s, are very competitive agains´t each other..their matches, definitely have a good buzz..

well, obviously nadal couldnt play wimbledon because he played too hard to win that australian open title.
its either one or the other, not both. you know how damaging sliding on hardcourt can be to the knees.
so nadal is where he belongs, no.4. Murray cant win the majors (yet, some would argue) but he deserved his ranking for his consistency
