      That was a classic, and a shame someone had the lose the match. Federer only broke his serve once, and it took him until the decisive moment at 14-15 in the 5th set. It took him 6.5 sets worth of tennis to break him, and it's still the only time someone has lost a GS final when only dropping serve once. Roddick was even up 6-2 in the 2nd set tie-break before losing it 8-6. There wasn't much else he could have done.

      I always liked Roddick as a character but neither was his tennis eapecially good nor did he anything but the serve. Some will argue that he had a monster forehand, yes, but at which efficiency? His backhand was never on top 100 level and for me the biggest surprise isnt that he didnt win more because of his serve but that he was so good despite his backhand.

For a couple years it was only really Federer who was better, and he got unlucky to be facing him for most finals. Don't think Roddick could ever have been a truly dominant player though, his personality won him many fans but his game was never consistent enough.

    Today's fans who say Federer had it easy, never actually watched these guys play. Not saying they were your Nadals or Noles, but they were certainly giving better fights than today's so called young gen. Back when the courts gave benefits to players who were brave and took risks. They slowed even Wimbledon down for god's sake. Sure, the rallies are much longer now, but the quality isn't there except it's Rafa v Nole. All these combined with the age difference, worked against one certain guy and they have the guts to call he had it easy.

    I calculated the average serve speed of these 7 serves, and it's a whopping 129.5 MPH. That's including a few sliders out wide. Roddick was one of the best servers ever and really deserved at least one Wimbledon, especially when his forehand was at its best. If not for Federer, Roddick would likely have 6-8 slams and some more time at No. 1. He'd possibly be in the conversation with Edberg and Becker.

    My favorite thing about Roddick was his pace of play. He didn't waste a bunch of time between points adjusting his hair, fixing his shorts, bouncing the ball 23 times, or any of that nonsense. Just walk up to the line, toss the ball up, and smash it. That's why he got to marry Brooklyn Decker.

      @GoGoRamon 2 роки тому +6

      I actually think he was mentally very tough, but I think he lacked some tactical strategy simply because he had some glaring weaknesses - backhand, volley and movement and later on his forehand got too spinny. Looking back at his career I think Andy did as much as he could with his overall tennis skills which was definitely a notch below the Big 3 but that just speaks to his guile and toughness.

      What was he doing with the chip and charge tactics under coach Stefanki? I know he wasn't likely going to beat guys like Rafa, but to just chip deep to his forehand and crash the net was insanely stupid. Before he retired he seemed to revert back to his power tactics and flattened out his forehand, he beat Roger in Miami and seemed to be more competitive again.
