that's teh big difference between Federer and Nadal Nadal always gives his 100% and sometimes loses If Federer gives his 100% he never loses moreover he always win in straight easy sets......... nothing to say it's just unreal...... Come on Roddick
one thing to notice here, is how roger in thw whole match never let a ``c´mon´´, he was only fist pumping very descretly sometimes, that´s very respectfull towards andy, considering how well he was playing..he must respect andy very much!
wow, you take it personally. wasnt trying to offend you. if i knew you were up rogers asshole i would never have claimed that the all time leader in grand slams was the best ever. what was i thinking calling pete the best ever??? i must know almost nothing about tennis. sorry, my bad.... i wont ever claim sampras is the best again.
gasquet and andy at wimbledon reminded me of this match, although it went 5 sets with gasquet,although both matches had winners blasting by a-rod constantly..

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.
I reall think Federer has had no competition at all until Djokovic, and if you count Nadal. The other players suck. They stick on the bassline and use a pan handle grip smashing the ball back aimlessly. YOu dont win tennis that way.
That doesn't mean they suck at ALL...anyone who says that all the other players sucks, ESPECIALLY when the only argument they have to support this is because of their performance against Federer is a complete DUMBASS and never watch enough tennis to actually have a valid point to bring forth to the table...you cannot judge a person's complete bag of skill based on their performance against ONE freaking opponent, and if attempt to do so, you're an incompetent halfwit.
my apologies...it was clearly out of frustration...but the comment is obviously not only used by yourself, but by many people who don't watch much tennis...no one who watches tennis regularly makes any comments remotely similar to that...it is, however a moronic comment, and holds very little, if any truth at all...and there's also no fairness in it...you are basically saying that Djokovic and Nadal are the only two who can play tennis, JUST BECAUSE they have taken swipes at Federer...moronic.
Im just stirring you up. I made that comment after watching a boring bassline rally match. I acknowledge how the game has changed, and many players today are very very good by standards, but I still dont think there is enough players really trying to out think Federer or others. Just calm down, its only youtube.
s i said before, you were made the scapegoat after heaven knows how many people preceded you with such comments lol...and no...there aren't enough players trying to out think him, but as with any other sport, people watch and learn...and they are starting to...but you also have to take into account the fact that he has instilled fear into most of his opponents...that, unfortunately, takes more time to recover from than any of us are willing to handle.
lol well of course you've heard it all before, and you're going to continue to hear until he is dethroned...it's a cycle and it will continue with ever other great AFTER Federer...if it bothers you that much, I'm afraid you're going to have to stop watching tennis...you just have to give the other players credit, for none of us are out there trying to take him down, and I highly doubt that you, I, or anyone else posting on this site will come any closer to doing so...we'd be lucky to win a game.
I agree with what you´re saying, but roger isn´t a dumbass, he´s a good person,but it is extremely unfair to take value off other players by comparing them to him,the thing´s roger does makes him standout, but many guys out there have their individual worth also! just because roger is no.1 doesn´t mean everyone likes him best also..
yeah exactly....but I aslo didn't mean Federer's a dumbass lol...I was saying that anyone who says that "anyone who has had trouble beating Federer can't play tennis" is a dumbass....that statement is completely unfair....so many people out there are freaking amazing, but the problem is that Federer is just a step better than most of them....I do think, however, that there are a handful of guys who are just as good as he is, but don't have the mental approach that he does yet.
yes Gasquet.....also Blake, Gonzo, & Safin.....there are a few more, however I'm up way too early and thinking isn't exactly my strong suit at the moment....to be continued....
yes,well,that´s why they call him genius..because he´s not just hiting the ball hard all the time like some do,he´s in control of what he is doing and confident of his tactical aproach..
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.
lol....it's funny because I know exactly which statement you're talking about....even from someone who can't stand Federer, that was a huge example of crossing the line and doing a victory dance afterwards.
So what if he only has one GS he's been to 3 other finals and finished in the top ten for 7 years in a row and still has time to win one or two more now that he has a new coach. Done better than you that's for sure.
I think andy would have not felt so bad if he didn´t get a ``bagel´´ in the second set,I think roddick should have slowed down the pace and used the slice to break roger´s rhythm, he gave roger to much rythm from the baseline and those winner´s were blasting away because fo that! andy need´s to pace himself more and avoid so much frustration when playing federer, be more pacient and work on precision, in the 2006 us open final,andy was more pacient and precise.
It is actually not Federer's greatness, it is actually Roddick's dumbness.When Federer plays against Nadal he looks human, it is only when he plays Roddick he becomes 'immortal' or whatever they call him.
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
Roddick needs to learn how to serve and volley. Fed owns him all day from the baseline. He has about 0.0001% chance of beating Federer from the baseline.
Federer is like a FEATHER-ER on the tennis court. Effortless movement leading less injuries. Longevity is the key. #1 for at least another 7 yrs and 8 more Grand Slams (including French).
It's still better in comparison...who in Steffi's day was even talented enough to take the number one spot from her?....a bunch of mediocre talent.....so much more talent these days...yes they are still all way underneath Federer, but it's a mental thing, not a talent thing....even with mentality, Steffi's competition wasn't very good....so Federer's dominance looks a little better to the eye.
sometimes you seriously just have to tip your hat and say "that is way too fucking good for me tonight". I admire Roddick for giving Federer all the credit afterwards and not trying to make up any excuses. If he blew Roddick (who like it or not is a very solid player) away 4-0-2, think of what he would have done to a Robredo or a James Blake on that night.
He played Robredo the match before. Federer was sloppy in that one. He seems to love Roddick so much. His greatest shots seem to appear when he plays Roddick.
Big deal, people get blown away in tennis all the time. this was an absolutely fucking incredible performance from Federer, but Roddick really has nothing to feel bad about, even the greatest champions get absolutely demolished at times.
Guys, i know Federer do not use illegal substances, It was a joke cause he was playing so goood. I think how many people can reckon a ironic sentece, when you they see it.
actually the test tennis players more than any other athletes. players are always tested before the finals of GS and numerous times during the year. how would steroids help his tennis game anyway? u r an idiot.
wellp, i think that IS the answer =/ oh well, its just amazing you only get half a second to do everything... see where the serve goes, and hit the ball in that amount of time. ANd returning it the way you want it given that tight time given.. its unbelievable
This match was sick!! I watched it live and I don't know but I think it was too much... Roger played perfect, Roger was doing pure magic with his racquet. And, of course, he has the opportunity to close Roddick's mouth about his comments on Kooyong. Hahaha.

1 semis in Paris and more early losses in Paris than a junior player competing in his 1st match in a main draw.
Sampras was great on grass;carpet and hard but he would forget how to play tennis once he steps foot on a clay court

Roger Federer is the best player in the world because
Roger actually plays the game, he attacks the ball the
depending on its postion. He follows the ball while
determining where his opponent is. Roger F. does have
incredible moves, having built up so much confidence
he concentrates on making the right move. Sooner or
Later a younger more quicker player will take his spot.
But as of now Roger Federer holds #1
