Roddick's problem is that he went to Lacoste and Babolat. He should've kept wearing Reebok and his trucker hats.

Is Roddick the GOAT?

Hmm. On the contrary, I'd say Ginepri's game is more ideal. Roddick's exploitable backhand makes him more prone, especially with his fondness for running running around it - he can't dictate as easily with his inside out/down the line forehands from the ad court. Ginepri on the other hand has very solid groundies, a better return than Roddick and is a better grinder (when his head is on straight that is).

Roddick can rally fine with the backhand--he just can punish his opponents with it at all.

I'd agree with you about Ginepri except that the MENTAL part has everything to do with the clay game. His groundtrokes and pseudo-counterpunch style should make him great for the surface, but he's been thoroughly disappointing on clay so far. Roddick has at least shown the results more than anyone else (from America).

"That he went to...Babolat"? As far as I can remember, he's always used Babolat...at least in the pro circuit

On the Tennis Channel, Roddick was at a charity event, where he talked about having
a lot more in life than tennis and not caring too much if he lost.


Roddick went from a downward spiral to amazing depths of hallucinations. I feel sorry for him
because his brother and mother are the most mentally-challenged white trash people alive! They'll do anything to advertise the Roddick name. They've resorted to begging for money from poor people to pay for their charity exhibitions. His brother told him "nothing in your game needs big change. You can win slams with my expertise." Manipulative tennis relatives!!!!!!

On another note, the clown George Bush Sr. even made Roddick a representative of his fitness event.

Underachievers never retire early. Roddick's situation is no different.
