is roddick the best GRASSCOURT player ever to not win wimbledon

[Nadal_Freak]

Roddick took advantage of a weak field in Queen's. He's not that great on grass. I actually think Roddick is better on hardcourts.

 

[tonyg11]

Rafter for sure

Guessing the OP is real young. As many have mentioned there are a number of guys who Roddick couldn't carry their 'grass court jock strap'. Roddick's serve has been figured out by a lot of players - he's not blowing people off fast courts like he did early in his career. The Queens wins are tainted because a lot of the top players aren't there.

Your precious Blake thanked him. He needed a fat Roddick who struggled on every surface, to move and serve precisely against every opponent, not just Federer. You conveniently left out Federer's easy Halle draws and crap draws on hardcourts and clay. Hewitt, Clement, Stepanek and Ferrero embarrassed Federer and Nadal too. Soderling and Rochus choked badly against Fed on grass courts, as Roddick did. Since 2006, Roddick cancelled matches with severe injuries and bulimic symptoms.

You make no sense. That is all.

I'm sorry,what?

Roddick has a huge serve, that's it. Tell me what else this guy has that makes him such a great grass court player? You going to call him a great grass court player based on one stroke? He is, and always will be a one trick pony. Roddick is not near the same talent as a Sampras, Federer, Jmac, Rafter, and other true grass court greats.

Patrick Rafter.

I agree 10 char

 

[thejoe]

Henman or Rafter.

 

[devila]

Agreed.

Also, I think Hewitt has won 4 Queens titles.

But atleast he won Wimbledon once..

His cakewalk draws were almost as easy as Federer's Halle and Wimbledon draws.
How do you blow people off the court when your matches last 2-5 hours?
Without his physical strength, Federer wouldn't be a top 10 player. Look what happened to Blake.
His fan requires endless education to find a clue about Roddick. Huh, what, duhhh.

What a cheapshot. Don't bring others down just because Roddick is finally being called out for being an overrated grass courter. You talk about one thing and then go onto a completely different topic, that's why no one understands you. The point is, I proved that your guy Roddick's overrated on grass, without even bringing up the beatdown my guy Blake put on him a few yrs ago in Queens.

Federer was crying over the Olympics.
Roddick must worry about Blake not winning again for the Davis Cup team. He sure learned how to massively tank Olympic, DC grass ties and Slam matches from his gentlemanly hero Blake.
