There will never be another tennis genius like Feds.
-
As a big FED fan of course I like to see that - but, man, Andy's serve was such an insane weapon! It took all of Fed's magic to hold against it.
-
Roddick spent so much energy adjusting his baggy shirt…only if he got fitted shirts like Federer, life would have been easier…
-
If there were medals for press conferences, A-Rod would have won a lot of gold...😂

There's a version of this match with commentary by Ted Robinson, John McEnroe and Andre Agassi where Agassi explains the difference between playing Peter and Roger. He said Pete would play average the whole match and brilliant for 10 minutes and you'd lose by the same score no matter how YOU played. But, if you played Roger, he could squeeze you from anywhere on the court at any time in the match and you could play your best tennis and still lose 6-1, 6-2.

That Fed was unplayable
-
Roddick tried hitting with 100% power in every ground stroke, then approached the net without expecting Federer to return a high-quality wide-angle deep ball, resulting in the loss of many points.
-
Andy's net game was subpar cuz he didn't put shots away. When Fed plays shots at the net, he puts it away to the corners or to the side. instead Andy just blocks the shots at the net and let them hang around randomly allowing Fed to get to them. Then he's just left dangling vulnerable. So in that aspect, he didn't really play lights out. He played his best, perhaps, but he left much on the table, which Fed didn't need to ask twice to take from.

One of the great matches by Roger.😍
-
When you have to say "come on" when holding serve....... You know you are out gunned
-
Federer is the one and only. The GOAT.
-
Never has someone played so incredibly well and still lost the match.
-
No one has ever played that well. Ever !
-
Roddick just played his usual losing strategy but with more energy.
-
Without the big serve this would have been much worse
-
It seems the consensus among the majority of tennis fans is that Joke is the "stat" vulture/ weak era GOAT (thanks to too many Berritini/ Ruud/ Tsitsipas/ Norrie Opens) while Federer is seen as the true GOAT. I'm happy most people know the truth!

Quizzical toys ...Rubics.

Roddick had zero tennis iq
-
What a wild, over-swinging, floppy player Roddick was, sort of crazed wildness without strategy.
