Disagree. He didn’t have to use as much in 2014 and Roddick allowed him to play in his comfort zone. Only for short rallies and points and Roddick is not exactly the hardest to hit winners past even Murray in 09 got 76 past him and he isn’t the best attacker. Fed did return better in 09 but both still mediocre.
Hit hard and powerful yes but at a slower pace yes. Fed of the 09 goes done to Djoko in 14 in the same fashion in my eyes.
Disagree. Still rate the late two a couple levels above. I don’t believe it had to do with power even in other Federer - Djoko matches the play of the ground was better. Fed hitting more powerful vs Djokovic playing like that just leads to more errors and Fed is a goner if he plays like that.
The Murray match was a better match imo. I wouldn’t say Murray beats those two they have his number on grass but gave that Roddick hell though so he wasn’t a mug.
Djoko in 5 is how I see it but fine. I think Fed starts to slip in 5th like he has done vs Djoko in the past.

I rate both Roddick and Fed in that match as a 9/10 outside the trolling so I do
Did this one myselfmy statement still stands though
Roddick has done well vs Rafa off clay tbh in real life tennis and not just time travel so true.
Djokovic fans do not mind it as much.you brought it upon yourself
Shame we cannot say the same about Roddick vs 2 others and not Rafa
Had to bump up for this.
Sorry
Depends which version of Fed that alligns with.
I did say Muray is the clear underdog but i was just highlighting were the best chance Murray has would be.
And Nadal was not getting past them to face Federer during that time on HCs. Seems how weak he was back then.
