Federer plays Roddick tonight

[Gander]

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.

He'll sweep the slams this year.

Saw the highlights this morning it was a thrashing, Roddick won exactly 6 points in the second set while being shut out, Federer just too much, kind of reminds me when Borg was beating everyone in sight easily.

At his best,Safin beat both Federer and Sampras(to win this tournament ,and the U.S. Open.)Will this guy ever see that form again,or is that it? What a waste of talent.

Its an embarassment that he got taken down by Roddick in this tournament, yet he beats Federer and Sampras. Go figure that one out. Hes a headcase.
