Roddick states he could not beat the likes of Medvedev, Zverev, and other great movers in today's game around 7:30.
Probably worth starting around the 7 minute mark to get the full context.
He attributes this to luxilon (poly strings) and how it changed the game. He even had his doubts about...

2003 Roddick: AO SF (Schuettler), Canada-Cincy-USO treble W, Indianapolis W, YEC SF (Federer)
2019 Medvedev: AO 4R (Djokovic), Cincy and Shanghai W, Canada and USO F (Nadal), Sofia and StPb W, YEC RR (0-3)
Both lost a heartbreaking 5 setter final and both should have won in 4 sets at max.
In the previous comparison we saw 2015 Fed vs 2009 Roddick, but I think 2015 fed did not show the mental toughness or physicality to hang for 5 sets in the final whereas 2019 fed did show that.
So, lovely...
