Roddicks coach sucks dick

[Deadeye287]

@istoryrighter true but at the very least it's sumthing he can look at to help him

[istoryrighter]

@Deadeye287 I guess but I don't think El Aynaoui or Agassi were ever serving 130+ constantly or taking huge rips like Roddick. And as for Agassi, he was blessed by the tennis gods.

@IKayosI but look at guys like Agassi and El Aynaoui who actually struck the ball harder as they got past 30 to shorten the points so there wouldn't be a strain on their arms and guys like them had their best GS results past 30. Pushing the ball lengthens the points and longer rallies=more arm strain

There's always this talk about his serve and forehand not being the beast that it was. But you have to understand the toll it takes on his arm, shoulder, and joints. The way servers and used to rip those forehands, it's this whip. He's in his late 20's he just doesn't have it in him to put that much strain on his arm.

@christianranardsings i feel his bh is actually fine, he slices a bit too much for my taste. His volleys are fine. His approach shots are different and his fh needs more work. Imo of course. His approach shots are the reason why it looks like his volleys suck, and his fh needs more power so he can plow through opponents like he used to. Again imo of course.

Everyone always is saying oh its his serve, when really in my opinion its his topspin backhand and net game that need a little more work.
