This was a disappointment for Roddick. I was hoping he could play well and it looked like he might when he took the first set off of Rafa and had a good shot at taking the second.
Unfortunately, it seems he revived his grinding strategy. He should have at least won one match. Now it looks like he can't compete with the top 8 players in the world. I'm not convinced that is true, but that is certainly the impression it will give off.
The pusher/grinder strategy is fine for early rounds, but he should know that he's going to have to step it up against the top 8 guys in the world.
