Roddick vs Djokovic Cincy QF!

[veroniquem]

Roddick is a terrible matchup for Djoko. I'm not sure why.

Roddick is a terrible matchup for Djoko. I'm not sure why.

Maybe because he's unbreakable?

Hot weather. Intimidating Roddick serve.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

5-3 Roddick.

 

[P_Agony]

Roddick is a terrible matchup for Djoko. I'm not sure why.

Roddick, IMO, is just a better player than Djokovic. Much better serve, better FH, and an underrated BH (though Nole's is better). Roddick is much better at the net as well, and his fitness is highly superior. Roddick would have had 3-5 slams by now if it wasn't for Federer. Djokovic has only a better BH and better footwork and ROS.

Roddick's tactics are often questionable though.

 

[veroniquem]

Thanks for the answers but even in the rallies Djoko seems somewhat neutralized by Roddick. It's a little surprising to me.
(just read P Agony's answer now, thanks for the details)

 

[LetsGoRoddick]

Why does djokovic always suck when I watch him... I want him to do well, is he really #2... argh >:O

 

[Bud]

Roddick is Djoker's kryptonite

 

[coloskier]

5-4 Roddick, Roddick serving for the set.

No, he is really number 3.

Djokovic hits flat. Flat hitters don't like players who mix up with spins and angles, generally.

 

[coloskier]

So far Djoker has had a tough time handling Roddick slice BH.

 

[Semi-Pro]

Something about Roddicks game that pisses Novak off, kind like how Nadals forehand to Federers backhand pisses him off.

 

[Telepatic]

Djokovic playing like tired Grandma, it's disappointing.

 

[TEnnisguy]

Good forehand from Roddick. 3 set points.

 

[LetsGoRoddick]

Well, Roddick was just hitting extremely deep, with big pace too in that last rally, and many before it.

Set 2 Andy!

 

[Bud]

Roddick running over Djokovic like Djoker ran over Nalbandian

 

[rainingaces]

Federer, Roddick final would be nice.

Federer the winner ofcourse.

 

[coloskier]

1st set Roddick 6-4. Djoker only has won 24% of ALL service returns.

 

[batz]

Vamos Arod!

 

[Anaconda]

Roddick serving at 46% and didn't even face a break point.....

 

[Bud]

Federer, Roddick final would be nice.

Federer the winner ofcourse.

No, Roddick is Fed's whipping boy

 

[veroniquem]

Wow I'm starting to see a distinct possibility that Fish will make the final. Xmas gift for whoever makes the final on the other side!!

 

[Bud]

WTH kinda lame approach shot was that?

 

[P_Agony]

Roddick's fitness and mental strength are inspiring.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Gilbert/Mac/Fowler all over Djoker. Says it looks like he doesn't care out there.

 

[Bud]

Stick a large fork in Djoker... he's looking tired and enervated out there

 

[LetsGoRoddick]

Wow, BG saying Roddick is "spent" from his match vs Soderling. But Djokovic is looking spent all day.

Btw is it the RPM blast which has allowed Roddick's shots to dip in like this? I haven't seen him hit this deep with this much pace since...what, Miami?

Btw epic fail slice from Andy, and it earns a big groan from him lol

 

[Dutch-Guy]

2 BPs Roddick...1 saved...2nd saved as well.

 

[TEnnisguy]

Wow, that was a bad slice.

 

[coloskier]

Djoker already starting to implode. 2 bad errors 1st game 2nd set. Approaching cross court and then missing a easy forehand badly. 30-40 Djoker serving.

 

[Anaconda]

Gilbert/Mac/Fowler all over Djoker. Says it looks like he doesn't care out there.

At least you have some good commentators, i've got frikkin' Goodall and Koenig.

 

[P_Agony]

No, Roddick is Fed's whipping boy

Not anymore, Fed's got no whipping boys left. They all become his masters now.

 

[coloskier]

Two bad Roddick UFE's bring back to deuce.

 

[P_Agony]

At least you have some good commentators, i've got frikkin' Goodall and Koenig.

I would take true believers Goodall and Koenig any day.

 

[Bud]

Good hold from Novak after being down 15-40

 

[coloskier]

Djoker pulls out the 1st game 2nd set, 4-6, 1-0.

 

[Anaconda]

I would take true believers Goodall and Koenig any day.

LOL at Djokovic's serve.........

No way man. I like it when i find an ESPN stream. Those guys i like to listen too. Goodall and Koenig are complete *******s and troll all day long.

 

[bezs]

Not watching but let me guess the heat is affecting Djoko

 

[TEnnisguy]

Massive serve from Rod there.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Not watching but let me guess the heat is affecting Djoko

No, bird flu. SARS.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

When you give a Nole a day match...

 

[Telepatic]

Actually, I'm now convinced Djoko is just fooling around, see that ROS-s and that 'drop shot' ? lol

 

[LetsGoRoddick]

Not watching but let me guess the heat is affecting Djoko

Is it ever any different when he plays Roddick in the day?

Well let's just say Roddick right now Roddick is up 15-30 on the Djokovic serve, another oppurtunity.

 

[TEnnisguy]

Actually, I'm now convinced Djoko is just fooling around, see that ROS-s and that 'drop shot' ? lol

Nole is practicing his new tactic. LOL

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

BP. Game over

 

[LetsGoRoddick]

Well there's the break... but it was ineveitable anyway. He's probably not going to break Roddick's serve.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Roddick breaks 2-1.

 

[shadows]

Expected result this.

Djokovic is a joke to the top 5, and the sooner he's out the better right now.

 

[P_Agony]

LOL at Djokovic's serve.........

No way man. I like it when i find an ESPN stream. Those guys i like to listen too. Goodall and Koenig are complete *******s and troll all day long.

Like I said, they are believers, which means they believe in god (Rafa).

However, I still like their quiet, calm comments which are always very much on topic.
