Safin beat him in an aus open semi. And if you can remember, Federer was giving one of his best performances in his life. Federer had by far the best average performance ever, but talking about best single match or even set, it has to go to safin.
If Roddick would stop squeezing his testicles so much he might be able to concentrate better- every sportsman is adviced not to have sex or masturbate before important matches.
seems Roddick was so pissed after losing the first set so narrowly (being broken in a game where he'd thrown down two aces, including one serve being hit at 230km/h, one of his biggest that night if memory serves me correctly) that he came out in this one just trying to blast Federer away with one big serve and one big groundie. Damn with that serve, if grass courts were as predominant as they were back fifty years ago, Roddick would have so many more titles...
I've thumbed this video down not because of Fed's perfect tennis in this match but cos of the video itself, which is shockingly out of sync...come on, you can do better than this, which makes it virtually unwatchable

@shakalakazu Well, you gotta keep in mind that it is part of Federer's game plan to bring his opponent to the net with the low chip return, especially against Roddick whose approaches are often not good enough.
Well, thats why consistency is so important in tennis. And Roger is losing his consistency in recent years. Thats why he is still a magician but fails to close the match on his favour.
That's actually not true. Consistency in matches is still good but he just doesn't play as good on the really big points anymore. That's actually the difference.
@Laxave So true. He is still in all the big matches he plays and is in fact often leading and then fades. US Open 2009 final won the first set and was serving for the second set. 2010 US Open, upv2 sets to 1 and then had 2 match points. 2011 was up 5 to 2 in the first set and had set point in the French final 2011, Wimbledon up 2 sets to 0, US Open 2 sets to 0 and 2 match points, Australian Open 2012 wins the first set against Nadal then up a break in the third and yet loses in 4.
@UUreviews no I disagree, by saying so you're taking away credit for Federer. Roddick does give his all whenever he plays Fed, but Fed is just too good every time.
It's feels weird with the sound off....

The best set of tennis? I vote Murray's 6-0 trouncing of Nadal in this year's Tokyo final. He basically zoned for an entire set.

His best set of tennis ever may have actually been the 6-0 set he dropped on Nadal this year in London if we were to update it.
