I'd like to see Peak Roddick vs Sascha.

G.O.A.T.
I think Djokovic would still handle Roddick most of the time but yeh I agree there's a match-up difficulty there. Roddick did get most of his wins against Djokovic when he was also a lower ranked player than him, after all.
I don't think it's only bad matchup, I think we are underestimating Safin, Roddick and those guys. They are a bit better than just 1 major says.
I think Roddick is on par with Murray. It's just that this era allows Murray to win a bit more than Roddick. Remember Murray never beat FEdal on a way to his slams, but Roddick always had to play peak Fedal there.

Well prime/peak Roddick rarely if ever had to deal with Nadal in Slams IIRC... their primes didn't overlap much... but he had a woeful match-up with Federer and this probably cost him Slams. Safin was a great talent but he didn't apply himself like Roddick or Hewitt. Safin and Hewitt did bag 2 Majors tho.

He wouldn't be in Paris right now.

I think he would be No 4 or 5.
Don’t see why he will be behind Zverev

Roddick was sort of like Wawrinka. Safin too. Both not as consistent but they had weapons to hurt top guys and also when on they were also mentally strong.
Murray is more like Hewitt. Consistency, but lacks weapons.
And Fed's h2h versus Roddick is the same as versus Wawrinka. So, I don't think this is bad matchup, Fed is just good.

Lol. No way he would have more points than Nadal, not sure about Federer. Nadal has made 5 consecutive Grand Slam SF and is the defending champion of RG. When did Roddick make the SF of all GS the same year? Federer also reached the RG SF at age 37, when Roddick never got past the QF of RG.

Definitely no.3 or no.4 . Might have made a couple of slam finals in last 2 years.

Nadal barely played HC lol and with peak Roddick on Tour he'd definitely get less points there.

Kevin ****ing Anderson made 2 of them. That's the required level for Slam finalists half the time these days

He's the daddy of the current world no 1. The world no 2 can't generate points outside of clay and the world no 3 is 38 years old.

Didn't Roddick hit Rafa in the face with his serve in this Match ?

I know there's context to all these things, but they're also not exactly inaccurate and damn do they make the state of the ATP sound dire
