Didn't he have a beat down already in US open 2011 against Nadal, when the score was 62 61 63? The 1st winner by Roddick was in the 3rd set, which was ridiculous.
@@kucingmeowcanteq7994 I think the point was, Roddick knew at 2012 that he'll probably never beat the Big 3 again even if he does, it will be through extremely high risk tennis (which is unnatural for him) and he would have to do it for at least 2 matches in the same tournament just to have a chance to win a big title again an almost impossible task for Roddick by then end of 2012
Bill Patrick Jones Yes. Roddick had the serve, but Novak had the all-around. Novak is amazing. I wish (like everyone else that Novak was around for the Federer/Nadal/Roddick era. But I still think Federer would’ve got them all. His entire game was fearsome. Of course, being American, I always cheered for Roddick. But when somebody is better, they’re just better. These guys are great.
@@frankiek2269 Roddick had serve power but couldn't place it well enough. Look at the Wimble final against Federer, Fed had more aces. Roddick could only go up the middle.
This is why Roddick saying only possible way to stay positive H2H vs NOVAK is quickly retirement hahahaha hahahaha... I hope Ben u watch this example of NOVAK DJOKOVIC dominance
watching this match, you really get the sense that Novak believes that he can win most of the rallies once he neutralizes Roddick's serve because in almost every extended rally, Roddick either gets impatient and goes for too much too soon making an unforced error, or does a chip and charge to the net and gets passed. granted this was toward the end of roddick's playing career but without the same firepower on his serve and forehand that he had in his younger years, i felt like weaknesses in the rest of his game became more apparent in 2010-2012
yeah, when he was younger he really went after the forehand. much flatter, much more powerful...but much more error prone. I believe that he and his coaching staff at some point decided that it was worth it to develop a more loopy forehand to cut down on unforced errors...and against people outside the top 10 it was pretty successful, which is why roddick remained inside the top 10 for the vast majority of his career. but the price was that he would basically never win any rallies whatsoever against anyone in the top 10. It basically meant he couldn't ever beat top 10 players. In a world where people only care about how many grand slams you've won when you retire, I guess roddick probably should never have switched his forehand, as high risk/high reward makes sense. He likely would have won another grandslam or two, but he also would have likely had a much lower average ATP ranking throughout the years.
@@bonzwah1 forehand aside, his backhand doesn't have good technique, this unreliability and tendancy to run around backhands gives him worse positioning which is exposed when you're older and less mobile. i also think he makes poor choices in shot selection, but he was a top ten fixture for near a decade who carried american men's tennis after agassi and sampras retired which isn't nothing. plus he seems like a nice, pretty genuine, funny guy if you've ever heard his commentary or seen him do press.

after 2009, Roddick was not the same player, back and shoulders were worn out from his intense service motion, he made some strange adaptations to his game
Sorry but no. Roddick from years 2003-2005 might have a shot against 2011-2016 Novak at fast grass but that's about it. Between 2006-2008 Roddick wasn't even playing that good anymore. He had a sort of ressurection in 2009 thanks to serious work on his backhand.
This is such a slow grass court. Djokovic is a great defensive player, but the slowing down of the courts(heavier balls too) since 2005 made it possible for Djokovic to become this unbreakable concrete wall. Roddick was trained to excel at a completely different game. When the game suddenly changed he could logically not adapt, because the type of playing required was totally opposite from his own.
Roddick just had too many holes in his game to compete against prime Djokovic, Federer and Nadal consistently. He was very one dimensional and also wasn't the greatest with mental strength (had a tendency to be fairly manic on court, to rush through points and not stop and compose himself or think about what was going wrong). In short, he was a bit of a lumberjack. When he couldn't overpower someone, he didn't have much else.
I don’t agree much with this take. Roddick’s kryptonite was Federer. He didn’t do terrible against Nadal and Djokovic. His only issue was his tennis, too aggressive and too taxing on the body. I believe if he had managed to tweak a few things on his game in order to become more efficient with his body he would have managed to stay a little longer on the top, although he had already been at the top of the tour for the better part of a decade.
Olympics always seem to come when Novak isn't playing at the heights he can reach...not that he wasn't playing great in 2012...but not like 2011...and he had a tough time after Roland Garros in 2016...hopefully it's different this year...I also think he's suited much more to best of 5 sets because of how hard it is for anyone to get 3 sets off of him
Olympics is only every 4 years, after all. Chances of playing your best in exactly the 1 of the 4 years rather than the other 3 years is 3 times less likely.
music 2015 roddick was just unlucky who he played in the finals of grand slams, i mean if it weren't federer than he would probably have 6 and federer would have like 11
Funny if tennis had the comparable medals to swimming, there would be one for serve, one for second serve, one for topspin forehand, one for slice forehand, one for flat forehand, one for topspin backhand, one for slice backhand, one for flat backhand, 20 for receiving serves, four for right hand and left hand volley each, four drop shots each hand, four for smashes each hand three for re-gripping, four for restringing, not to mention all the running for which there would be at least 50....
Roddick had real power early in his career. You can watch the 03 US open 04 Wimbledon final and he CRUSHED the forehand. Made errors sure, but he had some weapons. After Federer got in his head, he switched to this weird counter puncher and topspin player that got no power or depth on his shots. Unfortunately, he never got the confidence or coaching to give it a try again and his game suffered.
The commentators are pathetic. And Roddick got thrashed justly by the greatest. Beaten like a bully for his malicious comments back in 2008. He thought he was some cheese being a 1-time grandslam winner and a 4-time finalist.
He completely ruined his game when he got rid of brad gilbert and tried to become a player he just wasn’t. His serve and forehand was a killer combo. Sometime after Gilbert he started to just roll his forehand into the court. Would probably have helped of he wore shirts that fit him too.
Red Mosquito never made sense how he got rid of Gilbert just because he had a coupe months of poorer results. Still top 5-10 in the world when he got rid of him
