Wouldn’t change anything

Absolutely

Let's be honest: We would prefer if Roger lost SF 2019 and won 2008 against nadal in wimbledon;).

He himself to be blamed

This was the finest match I ever watched Andy play. And it wasn’t enough. There is a reason why Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic dominated tennis for so long. They’re simply better than other players even when those players bring their A game.

It's at 6:05 if anyone wants to watch it again.

@@matthewwilliams1709 that is what is so amazing about the last decade, normally it will be on champion but to have 3 players that are so amazing all holding 20 majors each is just absolutely bonkers.

@@matthewwilliams1709 the better player won. Fed was better than roddick here, and Djokovic was better than Fed 2019

Mishits on decisive moments. That volley in the second set. Those enormous misses he hit with his frame in the last game. Like the ball bounced on sand rather than on grass. Poor Andy, he deserved one Wimbledon, just couldn't handle the pressure, like Goran. Only difference was Federer was his opponent and not Rafter.

Roddick was one of the best tennis player . Would have been much better if he was born same year as Djokovic and Murray .

Roddick needed to place his serves better instead of just using power; Federer had more aces. Andy played conventional tennis and it isn't enough.

AC John heavily disagreeing looking at this match. Roger was probably the best st neutralising Andys serve and yet couldn’t break him until the very last game.

@Vitor Hara Yes, but he wouldn't have to play Federer in his prime.

People overlook how tough Roddick was on grass with that humongous serve. Its a shame the only serve he lost was the last game of the match.

Aditya Sarma Roddick is quite good in fast courts, it's just that there's another guy that's been a roadblock for him his entire career.

This match was epic! I remember watching it live and being on the edge of my seat. In my opinion, I put this match right there with the 2008 final. I think the 2008 final will always be remembered simply for the fact that it was Nadal on the other side of the net from Roger. The history those two had leading up the 2008 final, and the climax of that 5th set will always be remembered. But the 2009 final was just as epic. It was a heartbreaking loss for Andy, and although I was rooting for Roger, I felt terrible for Andy. I wouldn't have been disappointed had he won this match.

Scott Cho clearly you're a bit of douche

+Aditya With him losing, there's no other scenario possible;-)

Same here. Roger was my favorite player overall but as an American I still loved Andy and couldn’t root against him in this match. Such a heartbreaking loss, the only time I was ever mad Roger won a match.

Roger gave all he had in 2019 too. Djoko gave all he had in 2023. Tennis is tough.

Let’s be honest Roddick is a very poor player… except from his service he’s really not good… he looks like an amateur almost every time… he’s really bad honestly…

That's actually false. When Roddick flubbed that volley, the stats were pretty much equal in both of the first two sets. Up to that point, Roddick had been remarkably clutch to be on the edge of going two sets to love up despite not playing better (or worse) than Federer. After that, Federer was clearly the better player in the third (Roddick only won 3/32 points on return in that set), Roddick was the better player in the fourth, the fifth was equal until Federer saved double BP, then he was the better player and eventually wore Roddick out and won.

Federer won more points and return points blah blah blah. The first set was a ridiculous steal for Roddick.

Federer won more points this match than Roddick did, so no it's not a steal. In comparison Federer lost to Nadal in the Australian Open that year and had won more points.

in short, roddick lost his focus when he was about to win the second set after that one mistake, from which he couldn't recover quickly enough.

+Arch Hades Yes but that was only 1 point.

@@pasteurmario664 good point

i always thought he was commenting on the immense pressure of the situation. but looking back, I wonder if he was worried they would call him on a fault.

It's Boris Becker

I think Becker realised just how nervous Roddick was in that moment

LOL

i do this 100 times a day. that commenter needs to chill

Almost 10 years later I still remember that so much. Roddick choked there, but still the best match he ever played.

I came here looking for this comment hahahah. It's great when a commentator is a fan of the game

i have to admit, I was like did Becker just say oh my god, lmao

Little overreaction XD

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And Djokovic the 2013 French open 😔

Me too and as an American I was always rooting for Fed in their matches other than 2006 U.S. Open final in 2009 Wimbledon. I think we’re really separates the two is their mental game and their ability to play the best when it matters the most, which Roddick struggled with, he got broken serve in the last game and he shanked the ball at the last point.

And Baghdatis 2006 AO

@@infiernorojiblanco3809 Well.. That's objectively impossible now.

AGAIN Flfs I’m still physically sick from it

same here man. Such a pity losing TWO championship points

hahahahahah lol

Kinda the same scenario happened in this match, meaning the better player lost. Roger winning 2 tie-breaks and 1 break of serve. The 4 setpoints in the 2nd set tie-break will hunt Rodick for the rest of his life just like those two Champion points will hunt Roger...both happened on the same court exactly 10yrs apart! And even more, striking similarities both matches ended on a forehand shank.

Djokavic owns Federer

This happened Roger playing against djokovic so many times like 2015 us open and 2019 wimbledon. Life is not fair.

I thought Roddick was quite lucky in many matches leading up to the final that year. Also if Nadal was fit that year Roddick wouldn't have even been this close.

Roddick didn't kill Murray at all. It was a tight match Roddick just had a bit more luck & won via tiebreaks which he relied so heavily on throughout this tournament then ironically lost the final in the opposite manner but still Federer scored 10 more points than Roddick in this match overall despite serving a game less than Roddick. When people say "Roddick only had his serve broken once" he had the fastest serve in the game!! He did the least he could in his career with the serving weapon he had.

Relax...

The mistake that federer did is that he didn't work his physic after 2009. The talent doesn't mean all . I think if he worked on his physic after 2009 he would win 30 slam or more Even djoko or nadal are in their best

@@elmido2405 okay spiderman

Legend vs a only aceman

Every big 3 player will ome day...Nadal did on 2021 FO SF...aomeday joker will also

The shot at 7:11 was the weakest forehand I’ve ever seen that should’ve been put away.

Same. I don't know why I'm rewatching this...

Tay H Kay same!

Yeah. Strangely I was thinking the same thing while watching this.

the same too im fed fans & also i didn't want win this because roddick deserve 3 time losses finals at wimbledon 2004 2005 2009 he is unlucky

As big a Fed fan as I am, my heart breaks for Roddick, watching this again nearly 10 yrs later

booboochacha yes. I’m wondering why ? Is that bcz pressure?

@@peter86346 yep, focused on something else besides watching the ball.

HAHAH SO TRUE

true. Life is a cycle, isnt it? But Federer at 38 can still play at this level. He will win at least one more GS

Although Federer is 38, he can play at one of the highest level tennis game. It is awesome,and he will be 39 next month

LOL

😂

underrated comment

🤣😂

Only saw fed sweat one time. And it was one of those charity matches. I've never seen him breathe "hard" either come to think of it. Perfect form and finesse for the sport.

your point?

English fawning over Fed is worse than any other country. Some of worst crowds. Australian much better

@@CaLMCee go and watch australian open final highlight of 2017 between federer vs nadal.... they didnt even bothered to show the highlight of sets in which federer won

@@CaLMCee I agree. I'm sick of the Wimbledon crowd and I'm British. Most of them cheered Roger over their own countryman this year. And they don't like Novak much and I strongly suspect its only because he is a threat to their darling Roger and his 20 slams (which he deserved clearly, not taking that away from Fed!). Put it this way, if Novak came on court dressed in a white suit like that he would have been ridiculed.

I agree, 6 months away and he came back with a powerful backhand technique.

pizzaboy Yes, it's increadible that he was able to make such a change in such short time. Of course he's always had a fantastic and unique wrist action in his backhand, but he's managed to make it a standard shot now. Plus tempo has gone up in the last 15 years. If 2002 Roger were to step in a time machine and go straight to 2017, it would take him months of practise before he could reach third rounds;-)

Better technique..Yes. But better overall? Hell No! You have to see that Fed is more physically resound during his heydays.

+Edgar Injury wise you are right. But don't forget Raffa and he were the best players on the planet in Australia this year. Both having fought a few five setters to reach the final, and then another five sets against each other fighting for every point. You have to be mega fit to do that, don't you agree?

pizzaboy6877 watch 2003 houstan masters cup federer vs agassi and tell me how good his bachand was in that match

this hit me so hard Take my like muahaahahahah

Zoomye and Rodger shanked the ball on the last point just as Roddick did.

Karma.

I was thinking the same thing, they’re eerily similar, as if this was foreshadowing it in a way

And Andy is barely older than Roger here.

@@systemafunk but roger runs faster than nole,he just choked

Both ended up in same way

Not if Federer wins the last 3 sets

Should give credit to Mirka for coming out and shouting at the opponent to disrupt their focus #ApologisetoStan

+Tig Don't spoil his Hollywoodlike worshipping of celeberities XD

+kabob I didn't even know Roger has had one affair, let alone more affairs. XD

LOL take this W sir

I never said pregnancy wasn't a big deal. I said she doesn't deserve credit for anything other than being pregnant. She showed up, didn't puke and didn't shit herself. Congratulations. She doesn't deserve credit for anything Roger has accomplished. Roger accomplished it, not her. He has made her life a fairy-tale, not the other way around. He could dump that lumpy bitch tomorrow and have 12 supermodels lined up to suck his dick. Saying wife deserves credit for her husbands success is like saying a caddy deserves credit for a golfer winning a championship.

Jayant Chonkar... I agree with u bro... Very Disappointed.... 1 & 4th set hiding... Disrespectful PS:Federer Fan...

Of course Andy played a better match in his life lmao

It says extended highlights but is missing 2 sets

Was thinking the exact same thing. This is the final highlights, not just Fed. Roddick played unbelievable.

Surely Roddick played better when he won something

Nah it was set point?

Lendl did height at us open

I thought of this match a lot after the 2019 final, especially in how Roger lost three Wimbledon finals to Novak in eerily similar fashion to how A-Rod lost three of his own to Fed, the last one each being in such brutal fashion.

@@hiwayman981 Except Roddick was in his prime- 21, 22, 26. Federer was way past his prime 32, 33, 37.

spideyh2000 Pete Sampras came to see Federer win the Slam and before the match said he was hoping Federer would break his record

I mean.. they're both American after all. Of course he would want the American to win. Doesn't mean he wasn't happy for Fed tho.

Aaron M Sampras actually wanted Federer to beat his record

I'm sure he just wanted Federer to win it and be done with the whole thing. Imagine Federer losing here and then Pete has to show up at yet another GS final at the US Open or the Australian Open the following year. Just get it over with.

Amen

I thought who ever won was the guy who deserved and wanted it most

Tennis is one of the fairer Sports on this planet. The winner usually deserved it. Also in this match.

He ain't the GOAT.

@@jondavwal13 He is until someone (Nadal) surpasses him in GS titles, but till then he surely is the GOAT.

up 6-2 in that tiebreak, he makes the huge mistake of chipping Fed's short shot to Fed's forehand, short and in middle of the court. That's a shot he wishes he had back. Fed's return of serve on that point was miraculous -- threw his racquet out and was rewarded. But, it still fell short. I almost felt Roddick coulda run around it and tried for a forehand winner.

The miss that cost him Wimbledon in my opinion. If he was to make that I believe he would have won in 3 or 4 sets

Biggest miss for the US in the past 10+ years.

Me! :D

InsideOutBH Fed was below his best here unlike the matches with Nadal and Djokovic. And Djokovic has 2 wins vs Fed at Wimbledon and Nadal has one and Roddick 0. The 2014-15 Fed reached the finals dropping just one set was playing better than the 2009 Wimbledon Fed who had a off day. Fed would still be the live favourite to win. Even in 2014-15 at 32 nearly 33 and 33 nearly 34.

2009 was Federer at his grasscourt peak. He wasn't dealing with recovery from mono, he was younger, and playedwith the 90 sq inch frame so still had the old forehand with its extreme power. In 2014-2015 he was already multiple years out of his prime. He was already very old in tennis terms and had a very easy route to the finals, and only had to play Raonic and Murray in the semifinals. In 2012, he was *already past his prime* (just look at Djokovic 2017 to compare them at the same age) yet somehow still crushed Djokovic at Novak's absolute peak when Djokovic reached 3/4 Slam finals that year. 30 year-old vs. 24 years-old, Djokovic already had the advantage (nevermind 2014-2015), but Federer still beat him. Roddick just never had the fortune of playing a declined 34 year-old Federer who was losing to Gulbis, Wawrinka, and Seppi in the Slams.

InsideOutBH Federer was In his Prime in 2009 but he was sloppy in Wimbeldon and the French. In 2014-15 Wimby Fed just dropped a single set In In route to the Finals. He was better in 14-15 Wimby than he was in 2009. Federer was defo in his Prime in 2012 still after that that's when he his Prime ended. He played better in 2009 than he did in 2012. Roddick would lose even worse to the 14-15 hyper aggressive 97 inch racket easier. Roddick would lose to the old Federer who was even better on Faster surfaces at times. Fed reached the Finals of 2014-15 Wimbledon and USO 2015 just dropping 2 sets in 18 games. Even in 2004-07 he could not even do that. Fed was not at his best in Wimbledon 2009 and was making mistakes he would not make Usually.Fed Prime was 2004-12 and on fastcourts he is still at his best today. Murray in the SF is not easy and Fed put one his best performances on.

InsideOutBH 2009 FO he nearly lost to Haas and Del Po he got out of it he struggled those days. Federer faced Murray in the 2015 SF that's harder than most of the draws he had for his first 10 slams. He had no tough semi in 2009 WO his draw in 14-15 was a lot harder than it was in 2009 wimby. Fed was great in AO and USO but he lost the competition was tougher. Both FO 2009 and Wimbledon 2009 were much easier draws. Fed started playing well after he was down but for the first 2 sets he made mistakes he would not usually make. Those matches were of Wimbeldon. He still beat Wawrinka and Milos and then Murray. That's tougher than who Fed faced in the 2006-07 and 2009 Wimbledon SF. P97 frame is better bigger and more Powerful anyway. He has found his FH again not as good as it used to but his BH is getting more power.
