Federer vs Roddick- Basel 2011

Raistlin · Nov 3, 2011

Who do you think will win this time around? I've always enjoyed their matches. They are meeting for the 23rd time...

Rock Strongo · Nov 3, 2011

Hoping for 3-20!

JayChu · Nov 3, 2011

Federer in 2.

Will be shocked if Federer wins in 3 or if Roddick wins at all...even though I wish that Roddick could win.

Hood_Man · Nov 3, 2011

Federer in 3, but I only think it will be 3 because Federer will start hearing Lady Gaga, the shipping forecast, or what he'll be having for dinner in his head when he should be concentrating on holding serve in the second set.

LOL........

pringles · Nov 3, 2011

Is it really worth a thread? Even though as a Fed fan I'm rooting for Roddick Fed is going to win pretty easily 6-3 6-3 maybe

kishnabe · Nov 3, 2011

Roddick 7-6(4), 6-2

The Bawss · Nov 3, 2011

P(roddick winning) = 0

LOL

I wouldn't exactly say 0.

He has beaten Federer twice in his career, so it is more like

P(Roddick Winning) = 0.01 or 0.001

h2h updated this time tomorrow:
21-2

wilkinru · Nov 3, 2011

there may be a time when roddick's serve wins out.

but i dont think we're there yet.

tacou · Nov 3, 2011

heyy no one saw Miami 2008 coming did they?

I think Fed will win but I'm mostly excited just to see these two go at it again as their careers both wind down (Roddick's sadly a bit quicker than Rog)

he doesn't return well enough

CCNM · Nov 3, 2011

I hope the "good" Andy R shows up! If he does I'd like to see it go the whole 3 (or is it 5) sets.

Heh. So do I.

I do also think HoodMan has a point; ******** could make a random appearance at any time.

I had the privilege of watching Roger's US Open 4R from a (gifted) courtside box seat, when he had something to galvanize his attention. It continues to boggle my mind that those two personas can co-exist in the same person.

Tammo · Nov 3, 2011

Roddick in 3. 4-6 6-2 7-5

Yeah, it really feels like he has MPD at times T_T

OddJack · Nov 3, 2011

Have u seen Rod's slice BHs?

It's like a photocopy of Rodge's.

rdis10093 · Nov 3, 2011

not so sure about that. A two hander is not going to have as much slice as a one handed backhand player.

Xizel · Nov 3, 2011

If Roddick learns to hit good approach shots and stop choking up on his backhand, then I'll consider him losing in 3 sets and not 2.

MichaelNadal · Nov 3, 2011

When is this match? Im so out of touch lately.

^^Oh good ill get to see it then

LetsGoRoddick · Nov 4, 2011

I will root for Roddick, but even for me it's hard to believe he'll win these matches now.

He slices with one hand

Tennis sensation · Nov 4, 2011

Federer in 2
or
******** in 3

Miami match was in US and outdoors, this time it is a different territory not in Andy's favour.
Have to agree about the second part, the handshakes between older champions (like Hewitt and Fed) get warmer with each passing year. But the matchup is too predictable: Fed is better than Rod in every aspect of the game, apart from serving maybe (it depends on a day).

ductrung3993 · Nov 4, 2011

Where's the poll "How many games Roddick will get" ?

I know a rod. has a one handed slice, but he plays a two hander backhand. Fed is a natural one hander. Roddick's slice is not on the same level as federer's slice

zagor · Nov 4, 2011

This is gonna be a barrel of laughs, two washed up weak era leftovers going at it and displaying something that vaguely resembles tennis.

rodd_fan · Nov 4, 2011

noticed lately that a lot of serbian f^^ks came on this forum after ******** joined top10.Where were this guys before?

rdis10093 · Nov 4, 2011

I do not know if I would call Fed and Arod washed up yet.

Tammo · Nov 4, 2011

^^ I understand now why "Rodd" is your favorite player

Novak( "********") reached top 10 more than 4 years ago, so you mean to say where were all "this" guyz 5 years ago, right?

I was yoking, they're both still in the mix, just not as much as before which is natural given how long they were top players, nothing lasts forever.

rdis10093 · Nov 4, 2011

fare enough

rdis10093 · Nov 4, 2011

I always enjoy their matches though, hope it is a good one

sportsfan1 · Nov 4, 2011

Can't wait for this match to start! Schedule said 19:00 local time, I suppose it was waiting for the 'other swiss(wawrinka)' match to complete...

LetsGoRoddick · Nov 4, 2011

they're on court.

LetsGoRoddick · Nov 4, 2011

wtf troll graphic. Roddick leads 20-2 winning the last meeting xD

sportsfan1 · Nov 4, 2011

Any streaming links, apart from espn3?

rdis10093 · Nov 4, 2011

match is going to start soon

pringles · Nov 4, 2011

Fed with a hold to 30 to start the match. 1-0

Funny how Roddick challenged his very first shot.

Ico · Nov 4, 2011

Roddick challenges on the first point and gets it right. Federer still holds serve though.

Rjtennis · Nov 4, 2011

I just dont know what Arod can hurt Fed with, unless Fed plays sloppy tennis. Roddick is not going to be able to beat Fed by just getting the ball back, hitting his bh slice and playing defense. Roddick also doesnt seem to attack short balls he gets after his 1st serve and Roger should be able to get a fair amount of 1st serves back in play.

pringles · Nov 4, 2011

I think if Roddick serves over 65 % he has a very good chance of winning today. Federer's ROS has been more down than up lately.

Roddick races to 40-0 on his serve

SirGounder · Nov 4, 2011

Big forehand by Fed and then a big forehand by Roddick on the next point. Haven't seen that in a while from Roddick.

pringles · Nov 4, 2011

Good match thus far, Roddick is up for the challenge...

deuce at 1-1 on feds serve

Clarky21 · Nov 4, 2011

Is Roddick actually hitting his fh instead of pushing it? :shock:
