Federer 2019 vs Roddick 2009 in Wimbledon final

[Rafa4LifeEver]

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 ladies and gentlemen, my fellow posters of TTW, who wins this hypothetical and how?
What would be the patterns of the match?

Why would 2009 W Roddick lose to 10 years past his prime Federer?

Obviously Federer. A worse version win in 5 in 2009, so 2019 one of his best versions I think wins in 4.

And nole 2017 is way better than 2011 nole at AO due to evolution, right gentleman?

I think he was injured, sir .

I think he was injured, sir .

So what about 2020, he wasn't injured, no!

Yes Novak plays better than ever now. The game has moved on.

Lol

 

[Standaa]

Roddick would still somehow choke it

 

[Pheasant]

Roddick in straight sets. 2019 Federer would never get a whiff of a break point against 2009 Roddick. It'd come down to if Federer could steal a tiebreak from Roddick. I say not.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Rod got 12 votes fed got 8.

Come on TTW, what are you doing? Vote more, discuss more.

People underate Roddick mentally.

I doubt Roddick was as high as 9.5 I would rank Nadal in 2007 and 2008 a little bit higher than Roddick as well.

 

[PerilousPear]

Roddick was a pigeon, always will be.
Fed in 3/4/5, it doesn't matter.

What for federerer 2003?

This thread never mentioned anything about 2003 Federer at W but the last 2/3 rounds has a case for some being the best tennis anybody ever played on grass IMO.

 

[BauerAlmeida]

Roddick almost beats a 10 years younger Federer, so he should win even with the mental block.

Yes well.

 

[SonnyT]

No contest, Roddick was 6 years removed from his lone Slam victory. Federer should've have beat the man who would totally dominate tennis for several years, from that time onwards.
