This is one of the best performances I’ve seen from Roddick! Running forehands, serve-and-volley, winners after winners...I don’t recall watching this match at all! And highlights does not tell the whole story of course, however what I saw Djoker looked fine. Did a medic come out to look at him? Even the commentators said he quit. That’s telling. This much be the match Federer was talking about, and he got flack for it, smh.
Don't get me wrong Djokovic is way better now than he was back then but the way his tennis looked until 2012 was awesome. He took these massive swings at the ball and his backhand was literally a baseball swing
one of Andy's best games, at least I've watched, 14 unforced errors, it's too little, even more for Andy's profile, who doesn't like stretching the points, who likes to be aggressive and define fast, great acting!
Criticism of Novak for quitting didn't age well ... we know now that he had diet issues and when he discovered and fixed that, well we all know how good his fitness became.
Because most of their matches were before 2011 when Djokovic didn’t get to his peak, also due to his gluten issue. After 2010 he became a different player and has edged out Federer and Nadal but Roddick retired too early. They only met once in 2012 which Djokovic won. So Djokovic was trailing 4-5 but imagine what’d happen if they continued playing a few more. Djokovic also rallied from behind vs Federer and Nadal.
@@tehatteIt’s not Roddick’s fault that Djokovic didn’t put things together before 2010. If we all predict results based on your logic, future top young players will all have crushing winning records against Djokovic if he keeps playing until 65.
@@hongyu3860 Yes, that’s right. If Djokovic continues playing, like 5 more years and no need to be until 65, other top players will catch up and pass him on h2h. Roddick retired at the end of 2012 when he was just 30. Let say if Federer retired in 2012, at 31, he would lead Djokovic 16-13 in h2h but because he played 8 more years Djokovic passed him. So it’s not too much about the matchups among Roddick, Federer and Djokovic here, it’s the generation gap logic, and because Roddick retired too early he was able to maintain a winning record vs Djokovic, who peaked rather late (after 24 yo) and I didn’t say Djokovic developed late have anything to do with Roddick.
I sometimes wonder if Roddick would have been a better player without his giant serve. It would have forced him to broaden his weapons and develop a more aggressive, inventive play style.
You said a good one. Lotta times the players with humongous serves rely on it too much. Pete and Fed had fast but not humongous serves and Agassi, Novak and Rafa had middle of the road serves. There lies the overwhelming majority of GS 🏆 from the past 30 years. We can even go back to Conners, Borg, and Mac none of them were huge servers
@@steinanderson9849Cope, Djokovic stepped his game up in 2011; improved forehand, diet and long distance endurance. He also began meditating and had the best season of all time
I liked what the commentator said at the end. I don't think Djokovic should've retired and he didn't wanna actually "lose" the match, which he probably would've if he continued playing
@@alvaro.m labeling someone stupid because they have as much knowledge as you do on the matter is even more stupid than the original comment. All he stated was that he liked what the commentator had stated. Where's the stupidity in that? It's like me stating I like what you commented but I can't because you're an idiot.
A lot of idiots are in the comments. Djokovic played past 2 or 3 am in the match before this and he never fully recovered. Add in the heat and his breathing problems, and it was too much so he retired. So know what you're talking about before posting.
Commentators here criticized Djokovic's not making enough effort, disrespecting his opponents and so on. A lot of people often criticized Novak for this sort of acts early his career and even Federer denounced Novak for these. But later Novak disclosed he had breathing problems due to food allergy which was later identified as gluten related. He solved this problem with gluten free diet, went on a tear and rose to world #1 in 1 or 2 year from this match.
Simon Reid's comments didn't age well. I'm a Federer fan, but on paper Novak is the greatest ever. I thought Roddick battled through it as the more seasoned pro..... Wilander was diplomatic to his credit. He's been there and done it.
This was a year before Novak discovered he was severely, wheat, sugar and gluten intolerant, which is why he often had to retire from matches. A year later, he radically changed his diet and the rest is history. He lost 5 years and 3 GS finals due to his intolerance, just think of that for a minute.
no he isn't, his voodoo doctor held a piece of bread against his stomach and his "arm got weak". the change in cardio performance is far more pronounced than what diet can explain.....
I could easily tell that djokovic had heat stroke based on how he was moving and i am thousands of miles away. He definitely wasnt faking or being a sore loser. Only he knows how much he was sufferring out there but just take a look at how he was moving and misreading alot of roddicks shots. Classless federer in an interview afterwards bashing novak just because he has never experienced or felt what novak did is not right. For example, its like someone having a stomach flue and throws up and people jump to conclusions and start judging by saying look at that drunk guy. This is the exact same thing by saying that novak is a quitter when they have no idea how he is feeling or what his condition is like.
The only way for Djokovic to show his great performance in his tennis game is for him to play at night, as it is already proven that in the GS when he plays under the sun, it makes him desperate and reduces his game, because he can't stand so much heat on a sunny day and here is a great example of this, period!
A sunny day In Melbourne is not your standard sunny day. Much cooler in New York, Paris and London. And now that he’s the GOAT, he is always the night cap in Australia. Center stage.
True, he has problem with that. Lost many finals when played at the daytime. Also recent match with Alcaraz. When sun went down he started to play a lot better
Are you insane? Are you suggesting that Roddick wasn’t playing under the same sun? Fitness is a part of tennis- if you’re not in good shape, you don’t win big matches. Novak eventually became the fittest player on tour, but until 2011 he was not a fit player. This is why he constantly had to retire from matches. There is no excuse- he was not fit enough to consistently win big tournaments for the first 6 years of his career. Poor fitness=poor tennis. Good thing he eventually learned how to stay fit! But Roddick was convincingly beating him in this match- no question. Also, Roddick won 5 straight matches over Novak during this time, and ended up leading their head-to-Head 6-5. 🤷♂️ Neither was “humiliated” in their matchup, but especially not Roddick.
@@kevinmurtagh4996 yes there is an excuse, Djokovic is gluten intolerant. In 2011 he changed his diet completely. Before that he had troubles breathing because he was gluten intolerant. So get your facts right before chatting shit
Andy was serving lunch today. Poor Novak was a little overwhelmed. At that stage who would have guessed he won 24 Grand Slam tournament.
If Roddick played like this in all matches he would have won 10 grand slam
