LOL the court in Arthur Ashe Stadium was really fast back then, not even slower than Dubai, but same can't be said nowadays. There is a reason why pushers were dominating US Open from 10-13.
nadal and djoker rnt pushers. nadal can play aggressive and his shots have a ton of spin and pace, that's really hard to do and make it in, also djokers shots are very aggressive, deep hard shots that he can make heavy, he has plenty of aggressive play BUT yes I agree andy Murray basically just pushes
despite playing a subpar final this clip is a clear indication of Fed's decline on his movement and forehand. His defense was sick back then and his forehand devastating.
Very first point of the video... The commentator's laugh after Federer casually disposed of the bomb Roddick sent his way is all you need to understand what happened during that match... Just pure excellence from the maestro.
It's quite amazing that Fed went 9-0 in sets from QF forwards. All 6 sets were really tight, and could've gone to the opponents... This was back when Fed still had the "Aura of Invincibility" around him. Davy was up a break several times and threatened with multiple set points, Roddick was there all the time, and Djokovic had 4 set points (or was it 5?) with serve in the first set, so... Amazing Federer. And this is what changed more than anything since his prime - he is no longer unbeatable.
It's a shame they took down the fast courts. I wonder where Djokovic or Nadal would be now if nothing had changed. Even Wimbledon and Us Open are starting to be as slow as the AO.
@@Onmysheet lmao I forgot I wrote this 😂. But it’s true, I mean Rodick was pretty good but Federer dominated in the 2000s for a reason, he was unbeatable

Wooow obviously you cannot compare this Federer with todays federer. No way
The movement is the diff and that means ething
@@x2x789 neh its been the forehand ever since 2012
@@lammie001 Movement dictates all else, for ex prep time for FH
I miss this kind of play from Federer :(
2:15 ... Faking the running around the backhand. Amazing footwork. Only Roger can do.
2:40 banana shot Roger !
Roger Federer had Andy Roddicks number. I wish so bad he could’ve won that Wimbledon over him.
lob wedge to the green. right but the ball landed in the blue
❤
it's not a fake, he wanted to do the forehand, but the ball jumped to low so I understood that his only choice was a backhand
Darth Federer Arrives!

We all do u_u.
Poor Rodick, his grunting sounds painful and a little embarrassing.
He's giving it his all, just hanging on at every point, scrambling for every ball. While Federer is coolly dictating play without breaking a sweat.

I had forgotten how close this match was. Good quality btw.
