Was always very impressed with the pace he could get on his serve for his height. He was not tall like John Isner or Ivo Karlovic, which meant he had to have a very good service motion.
The way he served, its not surprising all the injuries he had. Its like when you pull a rubber band and let it go. That "snap" generates a lot of power, but there's only so many times your body can do that... like a baseball pitcher. In his prime, he was probably a top 15 player, but his serve made him get to #1. He was quick, good forehand, but his serve and volley was damn good.
@@atkascha Volley? Wait are we talking about the same Roddick? Roddick had a fantastic one-two punch combo which greatly pressured opponents, but his volley was rather pathetic.
From what we saw, 232 km/h serving on average 🙄 How do you return that for Christ's sake? That's some serious speed, I don't think even the joker can do anything about it...
What made Roddick's serve unique was not just the speed, but it also had the spin to match Sampras's. Traditionally servers had to sacrifice velocity for spin, but Roddick's serve motion's kinetic chain allowed him to generation so much power that it had both insane velocity AND spin. The result was a crazy heavy ball that placed tremendous pressure on opponents. Either be aced or return the ball back short to be forced into a highly disadvantageous defensive position. If you couldn't neutralize Roddick's one-two punch combo it was pretty much game over.
Andy moc jsem ti fandil dával jsem si Roddick jako přezdívku byl si nejlepší nechceš se vrátit zase jak Andy Murray na kurty?věřím že bys měl stejně dobre podání jako drive
Yes, he definitely would! Nobody would have challenged him in place of Federer in 2004, 2005 and 2009 Wimbledon finals, so he likely would have been it's three times champion!
For those of u complaining about quality i can actually see the ball moving, ur screen res probably just trashy quality. However the audio video off sync is unacceptable
It's so sad that Roddick played during the era of the three greatest men's players in history: Nadal, Djokovich and Federer - otherwise he might have won a couple of grand slams. (19 years since an American man has won a grand slam)
seriously why the fuck are they cutting to the overhead view the moment Roddick hits his serve instead of before? Can't see shit by the time the camera cuts cause that serve is long gone.
Why can’t tennis players hit a 160 mph serve? Because there are two basic limiting factors with traditional service motions (platform stance and pin-point stance): (1) Power off the ground. (2) Use of the pronated wrist. There is a way to break the 160 mph barrier using simple physics in connection with human biomechanics. That’s what I do as Professor Tennis: take a Quantum Leap in thinking with the Physics of Tennis.
@@commondirtbagz7130 I also us the neutral wrist (the fastest way to move the forearm in a throw or swing). Physics is probably not for common-dirtbagz, but it is always available.
if taylor dent and greg rusesdki were not injured they would have surpassed this speed , rusedski back injury forced him to reduce the speed , while dent rarely played but he had a mighty serve
His service motion is so unique and one of the greatest in tennis history.
ABSOLUTELY
Rune's service motion is a little bit like Roddick

Good Performance By Roddick 👍
We miss Roddick
You miss raw dick?
I mě já mu fandil nejvíc už by asi takové podání neměl
i always wished to see goran ivanisivic playing several matches vs andy roddick they have only one match head to head
Unique & unpredictable.
Best serve motions in history: Ivanisevic, Sampras and Rodick.
I guess this was one of Andy's best tournament. He beat Rafa in the quarter and right after this the Joker in the semi. Good memories.
One of the best serve ever
Miss him. ❤
Best server of all time. Nobody was getting those bullets back
Well no one...but Roger Federer.
My favourite player of all time!!!
And the Camera misses the match point serve. WHY DO THEY FOCUS ON THE CLOSE UP UNTIL THE LAST MICRO-SECOND? lol
3 times, they couldn't switch the camera to the full-court angle in time.
Good old times. Watched that tournament every day when roddick played and bought the same racket he had.
Me too, PureDrive GT
Dude must have been inducing a great volume of fear on his opponents.
Welcome back Roddick 😍
Puro poder ese si era el mazo
Googled the draw that year. Damn what a stacked lineup. Federer played Murray in the first round.
From what we saw, 232 km/h serving on average 🙄 How do you return that for Christ's sake? That's some serious speed, I don't think even the joker can do anything about it...
federer owned his serve. the speed absolutely didn't bother him. he broke roddick with ease.

150mph serve... that's insane.
What in the world was the camera guy doing?!
Melhor sacador de todos os tempos
Whoever is sponsoring him should make him better fitted t shirts
Roddick was awesome 😊
Could you sync the video and audio? Thanks!
And people are really saying that Federer played in a weak era, mentioning Roddick as a "mid player"
in all my decades watching TV tennis i've never seen such bad camera selection. They still have the death penalty in Dubai?
shoddy camera work / production.
Would be nice to actually see the serve
Andy moc jsem ti fandil dával jsem si Roddick jako přezdívku byl si nejlepší nechceš se vrátit zase jak Andy Murray na kurty?věřím že bys měl stejně dobre podání jako drive
I'm a Canadian writing a comment below a video of Russians commentating an American playing tennis against a Spaniard in the United Arab Emirates
Underrated player. Would’ve had multiple slams if not for Fed
Yes, he definitely would! Nobody would have challenged him in place of Federer in 2004, 2005 and 2009 Wimbledon finals, so he likely would have been it's three times champion!
2006 USO final too...and i think even 2003 Wimbledon! And AO 2007 too!
Damn it . Roddick hits hardest I guess compared to Del Potro, Tsonga and Gonzalez
Would have won Wimbledon if they had kept the grass shorter
Federer returning 100 mph actually, this no one can not return
Can serve faster stronger but it is a hit, selfsuffivmcient
who is Nole then. the best returner
Camera work is atrocious
Aspoň bych ti zase moc fandil přihlaš se na turnaj US Open až bude
QUE PASO C/ESTE CRISTIANO?? ME GUSTABA LOS SAQUES Q HACIA
faster than bullet train ??

He should have underhanded the last one.
What does commentator go 30:15 he sees and cannot believe?
Apparently people who work at the tournaments behind the scenes say Roddick is a huge jerk
It's so sad that Roddick played during the era of the three greatest men's players in history: Nadal, Djokovich and Federer - otherwise he might have won a couple of grand slams. (19 years since an American man has won a grand slam)
which year was this?
2008
With a serve like that why wasn't he more successful?
Andy Roddick serve doesn't looks like service. Looks like hitting shot by Jumping
Black Tony is funnier than Huggy Lowdown.
Terrible camera work.
you cant fucking see teh serve
Putin made a great commentary.
You mean Hong Kong
Nadal just doesnt care about this tournament lol Its not the Grand Slam
That was the most pathetic camera work I have ever seen.
seriously why the fuck are they cutting to the overhead view the moment Roddick hits his serve instead of before? Can't see shit by the time the camera cuts cause that serve is long gone.
