Go Roddick.

I just bet Federer not to win 3-0 for some money.

Well as I predicted Federer in 4 sets. Roddick just doesn't match up well to Federer because Federer is the best at blocking serves in the history of tennis. Great Roddick effort but Roddick will have to improve his baseline game tremendously. I think he lacks the quickness to do that.

^^Roddick lacks quickness? I disagree.His quickness and energy was actually what got him back into the match after the horrible 5-0 first set start.

Anyways, go Federer!! That guy is lethal...just when you think he's going down and has a weakness, he comes back in the blink of an eye. He has the total package in tennis. :tu

BTW, Props to Tiger Woods for his support :lol

agassi was no slouch at returning big serves himself in his prime.

I think you are mixing up quickness with effort. Roddick did try hard in this match but he doesn't have a quick first step like Nadal or Federer have. He isn't slow but he isn't fast either.

Agassi always struggled with Sampras. Agassi is the best second serve returner and a good first serve returner also. Their styles of returning are completely different. Federer just blocks shots back while Agassi goes for big shots on returns and makes it a weapon. Where Federer has the advantage is his anticipation of where the ball is going. It is really hard to ace Federer.

Roddick doesn't hold a candle to either Federer or Nadal

Roddick has looked great recently. Federer is just dominant right now. He's playing in another world.
