I didnt watch the match but I guess it was a complete domination. Saw the highlights and it didnt even look like Roger worked himself into a sweat. There were some amazing shots Roger hit and it didnt appear that Roddick played bad. Looks like he is on his way to another Grand Slam win.

Roger and Tiger, let the comparisons and debates on who is more dominating continue. Good stuff here.

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.

Federer is the best I've seen for sure. His game is more well rounded than anyone else. And Agassi said he's the best he ever played as well so that covers the last 20 years right there.

John Mcenroe said Roger is the best he has ever seen. While he did not compete against Federer on the tour, Mcenroe has played against Roger in some exhibitions.

Fed is so easy to root for. Seems like a great guy off the court as well. On the court I dont think I have ever question one single call.
