HC.
When comparing his run with Med's, I usually refer to his grass court season too in order to showcase that his run was longer than Med's.
Hilarious that he couldn't not beat average playing Nadal in the 2019 US Open final.
Even i picked Roddick
Nope, Agassi in 1995 won Washington, Canada, Cincy, New Haven.
Yeah man,what chance would he have against Ferrero if he can’t even beat a mug like Nadal?
Still great that he won that US Open, and he deserved that. But it could easily have been that Federer already started his total dominance after Wimbledon 2003. IMO it only depended on still not being able to overcome his nemesis Nalbandian yet. Would he have done that at the US Open already instead of the Masters Cup a bit later, he would have won the tournament I guess.Its a shame that right when it was Andy's time, you know who came along to murder his career
21-2 and Andy rarely even took a set, even in some of his 'high peak' performances vs. Federer. 2009 WB was the only time he even pushed Roger to 5, and in pretty much every final even in Masters he just bent over, like clockwork, every single damn time.Its a shame that right when it was Andy's time, you know who came along to murder his career
Roddick could have managed a few more wins vs Fed like YEC 2006, Miami 2009, Wimb 2009 and even Basel 2001. Add 2004 Wimb to the mix.
Or Madrid 2009 lol
Breadsticked in the 3rd though.
Besides Fed being a terrible match-up for A-Rod, I also think Roddick implemented the wrong strategy. He should have gone for more topspin serves to the BH and then the FH put away.
I admit my post was a little angry lol, Roddick was the first tennis player I ever knew about and I have vague memories of watching him in I think USO ‘06 and Wimby ‘05 which were obviously hilarious performances.
Tbh, Fed was pretty darn good most of the time.
1st and 4th set were pretty bad.
I wouldn't say Fed was GOATing in set 2 and his level in set 3 was inflated by Roddick's poor returning, but I am ok with putting it to "par".I think the middle sets in 2006 raise it at least a notch above but ok. I wouldn't average out those four sets to being subpar, I think holding off GOAT'ing Fed for set 2 and most of set 3 lifts to at least "par"
If you want back to back 3rd and 4th set of 2010 final for Nadal and 2011 final for Djoko were close to that level.Those two sets from Fed were probably better than any two back to back sets either Djokovic or Nadal have played in a USO final

I would rate Fed a 8.5 in set 2 and 9 in set 3.
Set 1 is a 9.5 and set 4 is virtually a perfect 10, maybe a 9.75 because he didn't win it 6-0
Is that different from your usual posting style? Really couldn't tell.Was trying some RS style bait there
Damn this made me laugh. Probably correct as well.Those two sets from Fed were probably better than any two back to back sets either Djokovic or Nadal have played in a USO final
USO 2006 wasn't a hilarious performance. Roddick played well that day against an in form Federer. No worse than Djokovic vs Nadal at 2013 USO or Nadal vs Djokovic at 2011 USO.
Have to disagree about Nadal in 2011. He played a guy who read his service like a book in a slow surface and who could keep playing those 30+ shots rallies consistently and not be bullied by his forehand. He had only lost one set in the tournament until then, to Murray.
Level of play of Fed being better is based on opinion not a factThose two sets from Fed were probably better than any two back to back sets either Djokovic or Nadal have played in a USO final
