federermagic -- "Back in Black" Hardcourt Masterclass 09.06.2007

[roburator]

reminds me of the wimbledon final against roddick in 2009 where he dugged deep for hours, did not have any break point until 15:14 in the fifth set and then won it.

[4Ventus]

Roddick gave it his 110%. And got raped.

[yallowsheep]

roddick played with so much more than he does today

[foul01]

@yallowsheep

you know that feeling?

you keep giving your best but you keep failing

you can feel your improvement but you still cant get it

you doubt you can do any better, but you still cant achieve it

eventually you'll lose the passion and your mind collapses before your body

federer destroyed roddick

[Goldthehedgehog11]

This looks so much faster than today.

[Mopzboy]

Epic intro



[9tails23]

roddick thought he could hit the between the leg shot because he wore black

[Vhsmith37]

What did roddick say @5:50 ??

[eclecticist0]

@Vhsmith37 he said don't move so early

[mohamedeliwatennis95]

you're failing to show Andy Roddick's momoent , Roger Federer was playing wonderfully but so did Roddick , look at the scores

[asdfuogh]

@mohamedeliwatennis95 Unfortunately, Roddick has a big serve, so most games he plays will indicate a close match. Isn't that what Agassi said about Sampras, that on a Sampras's bad day, you'd still only beat him 7-5, 6-4 or something.

[hattrickster33]

That's what Roddick gets for wearing black:P

[TheNaiman009]

it's like play with wall!

[olimoj]

is it Agassi commenting along with John ?

[davd1986]

@olimoj Yes.

[stretch90]

Federer looks like he moved kinda sluggishly in this match, kinda reminds me of the 08 AO when he had mono.

[sasook]

@stretch90 You really think so? I dunno, I don't see it.

[computermaster]

Roddick's grunting didn't do him much good.

[mihaaallyy96]

great Music (Y)

[93RastafarianPikachu]

Must have been when Roddick still hit through his forehand.

[roburator]

second best match of roddick. best one was the final of wimbledon in 2009...still fed wins it!

btw the grunting is aweful!

[eclecticist0]

it's funny how back in 2004 to early 2006 fed/roddick was considered a serious rivalry almost at the level fedal is today

[Baddieko]

@eclecticist0 roddick was good in the past, unbreakable serve and strong FH. Only Federer stopped him in most of the slams outside clay.  Roddick was better than the rest of the tour in grass and usopen court during that period. Prob top 2 or 3.

[davd1986]

I love how they keep hyping Fed/Roddick matches. What happens after that? Oh, one more W for the Federer Express, baby!

[wonhoyoung]

wow tennis used to be more intense in 07

[seidl01]

@wonhoyoung because the courts were a lot faster and the balls lighter than nowadays

[wonhoyoung]

@seidl01 lol i already knew that...i was just sayin

[Jamus182]

It's funny, the point at 3:05 has almost the exact same commentary as when mark petchy is commentating on the same point, 'Roddick cant play a better point than that'

[TJFederer15]

Great vid, i think it wud of worked a lil better with the song "back in black" but still great.

[Deadeye287]

Oh that intro was so badass!

[radioxxflyer]

lmao federer is just a joke lol i am laughing. he is just unbelievable!

[bobomber]

oh Roddick and the grunting...

[tvp900]

If Roddick was able to move and volley as well here as he did at Wimbledon this year, he would have won IMO

[IvanDrago187]

Man I'm glad you're back in the saddle again fedmag. :) This is unbelievable stuff.

[3timeMVPNash]

Great match. One of the more competitive matches RF and AR have played.
