Federer is now 11-1 against Roddick. That is domination.
Agassi atleast won some matches against Pete in his peak. Noone's touching Roger on hardcourts and grass.
I think the bottom line is like a championship team in basketball, Roger knows how to raise his level when it's get really, really, really close.
That next gear. Roger has it. Roddick doesn't. |

roddick played about as well as he can. that third set was incredible...if roddick could have somehow won that tie breaker...i think he could have taken the match. roddick is much better now than previous outings but at the end of the day federer is just too damn good. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

Roddick played as well as he could.
Bottom line, Federer's inserts his will on a match exactly when ne needs to. Roddick doesn't have the same type of serve or game that can kick into that next gear.
I can see Andy winning 2-3 more majors but if he wants to be in an Aggasi or Connors type great, he will need to learn how to elevate his play that extra gear. |

Roddick still has ways to go, and honestly, that's the best he's played Fed so far which is a good sign. He needs to learn to come to the net on better shots now but I think Connors is really setting him in the right direction. Roger looked as if he knew this was more difficult then usual in facing Roddick. People are catching up to him. Just like when Hingis dominated for two years straight and then was over taken the same will happen here eventually. |
