I was in the stands for this one. Fed did the fans justice and said Armstrong fans who were waiting in the rain to stay for his match. We did and I never saw a better player in my life - that weekend I saw him, Novak young, nadal, safin, Murray, nalbandian, ivanovic, Serena, it was a dream.
Weird seeing Fed on Louis Armstrong. Being the two-time defending champ, no.1, and playing against an American you would think he would've been on Arthur Ashe. Must've been a more intriguing men's match that night.
Spadea has some power to his game. not sure i ever heard much about him. add him to the list of the very talented who seem to be quickly forgotten by the public.
@@rjamesyork Hmm.... a little more than that. He was talented. But being a top level pro requires more than talent. He reached a career high tenth position in the ATP Champions Race in April 2003, as well as a career-high 18th ATP ranking in February 2005. He has career prize money earnings of over $5,000,000. Spadea has ATP career singles wins over Roger Federer (1-2 record), Pete Sampras (1-4), Andre Agassi (2-4), Rafael Nadal (1-1), Andy Roddick (1-2), Patrick Rafter, Richard Krajicek, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Jim Courier, Michael Chang, Marat Safin, and Gustavo Kuerten. He is one of five players to defeat Federer 6-0 in a set at a main tour tournament, which he did at 1999 Monte Carlo. Spadea represented the United States at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics. Vince was also named twice to the US Davis Cup Team in 2000 (captain John McEnroe) and 2004 (captain Patrick McEnroe). Spadea has one career ATP singles title and three ATP doubles titles. He also has eleven USTA Challenger Pro singles titles.

Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.

Surely Agassi.

Not that talented, basically a less brilliant Agassi. Capable of good results here and there.

Spadea the ultimate journeyman!!! An spioled rich kid
You think Federer was poor? haha
@@Vipa567 Hello.
I did not recall about the existence of this journeyman tennis player spadea
He's famous for reaching the Australian Open quarters in 99 after beating Agassi + for being coached by Mary Pierce's father at some point
@@dorianreuter8735 Also his 5 Set win over Gremlmayer!

Spadea was a solid pro... He was around for nearly 2 decades and was a top 20 player at one point.
Disrespectful and unnecessary.
Pure Jérôme 🎚 Golmard lookalike
Federer did not play very well here.
