You really get a feeling that Roddick went into that match thinking he could win. He seemed more frustrated than ever before losing to Federer. I think its because he did everything he could to win and still could not even come close to taking a set. He threw his racket and had a few temper flare ups after Roger hit some of Roddick's balls back that Roddick believed were winners.
Hes easily the best I have ever seen. I dont remember Sampras beating guys who were playing their absolute best tennis in 3 straight sets.
I also dont buy the argument that the competiton he faces makes him look better. I dont think Federer would have had that many problems with Sampras and Agassi, and the guys Sampras and Agassi were beating to win their slams.
