I remember a few times when Federer was asked about who was his biggest concern during a grand slam, Novak or Rafa... Federer said actually Roddick was his concern because of Andy's serve...Respect.
Great respect for Roddick - he always gave it his all and never stopped improving his game after some tough losses against Federer. If he played in a different era, he could have picked up a couple more slams.
That was a classic, and a shame someone had the lose the match. Federer only broke his serve once, and it took him until the decisive moment at 14-15 in the 5th set. It took him 6.5 sets worth of tennis to break him, and it's still the only time someone has lost a GS final when only dropping serve once. Roddick was even up 6-2 in the 2nd set tie-break before losing it 8-6. There wasn't much else he could have done.
No no no. Come on. He never had the all court and shot making capability they have. He was a serve bot with a good forehand and a high motor.@@NicholasPeters1
@@cwolf208 I don't feel he was athletic or agile enough. Had he played in an earlier era, he likely would've gotten more slams. His serve alone could fetch a couple of old school wimbledons.

Amazing server. He is the most consistent server at his speed. Esp. when you take into account, he was not putting too much weight on his rackets if at all.
@@kingston4313 no he was a generation too late. He would have fared far better in the Sampras era when courts were faster and balls were smaller. He would lose to med for example, when Med stays so far back the court it’s hard to ace him.

Today's fans who say Federer had it easy, never actually watched these guys play. Not saying they were your Nadals or Noles, but they were certainly giving better fights than today's so called young gen. Back when the courts gave benefits to players who were brave and took risks. They slowed even Wimbledon down for god's sake. Sure, the rallies are much longer now, but the quality isn't there except it's Rafa v Nole. All these combined with the age difference, worked against one certain guy and they have the guts to call he had it easy.
This video doesn't even do full justice if you don't know the context. Not only was this 7 aces in a row. It was against Lleyton Hewitt: the world #2, former world #1, winner of 2 majors, and one of the best SERVE RETURNERS to ever play the game.
I calculated the average serve speed of these 7 serves, and it's a whopping 129.5 MPH. That's including a few sliders out wide. Roddick was one of the best servers ever and really deserved at least one Wimbledon, especially when his forehand was at its best. If not for Federer, Roddick would likely have 6-8 slams and some more time at No. 1. He'd possibly be in the conversation with Edberg and Becker.
@@multiplemike If we just remove Federer and no-one else, I think Roddick could have won 2 or 3 more slams, before the competition overtook him.

Andy's server motion is fantastic, compact with tremendous power. It's different than other top Server players like Isner, Karlovic or Sampras. His game is not based on server-volley like the others, he is not tall like the others, either. Unique player.
Bro, Played this coach this summer. Got him stumped on my serves and he comes over and says that my fast serves could be better if I “served right”. Told me I shouldn’t have my leading heel up. I should be rocking on it like Roger. Looks like Andy’s got it all “wrong” lol
I got to see him play Federer in the US Open final in 2006. What a match! My favorite thing about Roddick was his pace of play. He didn't waste a bunch of time between points adjusting his hair, fixing his shorts, bouncing the ball 23 times, or any of that nonsense. Just walk up to the line, toss the ball up, and smash it. That's why he got to marry Brooklyn Decker.
It wasn't 7 in a row. The first 3 were done at 5-3 to Roddick in the first set. The 4th 5th 6th and 7th were in the 2nd game of the 2nd set and Hewitt had won the first game. It was a split video of a 3 in a row from one game and a 4 in a row from another.
