Watching this brings so much joy. Nalbandian is in just absolute flow during most of this match. Controlling each point with precision off the ground. His backhand, obviously one of the most technically perfect shots in the history of the game. It is a magical contrast. Roddick pure power and drive off the serve contrasted with composure and grace from his opponent. I would agree with Jeremiahmiller4640. Hardpressed to think of a more talented player that never won a major. On his game and the right surface Nalbandian was an unmatchable maestro. Even against Federer- which he proved time and again.
bajo asi el rendimiento del partido porque se desgarro, años despues lo confeso en una entrevista. Dijo que si ganaba ese partido no iba a poder jugar la final
@@LordCaedus-bl7wi The Wimbledon final, he just wasn't mature enough yet. He said had he played that final 2-3 years later, he would have handled that occasion much better. He knew how to play Hewitt.
@@pomerlain8924 He wasn't a good enough player yet at that point. Hewitt was always winning that final. It was a shame that would be his only slam final, as he would have a much better shot if he reached a final in 2003 U.S Open or anytime in 2004-2007.
There's an interview in which Nalbandian talks about this match (the show is called "En el set de Chela", or "In Chela's set", hosted by Juan Ignacio Chela, another ex ATP player from Argentina). When asked about this tournament, it went like this: Nalbandian - I defeated Federer and then El Aynaoui in the quarterfinals. But when the quarters match was about to finish, I had an abdominal tear. This didn't let me serve properly, but I managed to win that match. The next day I was in pain and I thought I wasn't going to be able to play the semis match, but I said to myself "alright, I'm gonna serve just putting the ball to play, always a second serve". I was trying not to force the serve because of the pain it caused me. So then I was like "just put the ball on the other side of the court and then let's see how the match goes". So, I started playing. Keep in mind that in this tournament I always felt great. We started playing and when the score was 4-3 or something like that, He (Roddick) served and the ball caused me an injury in my wrist (*the muscle is actually called "cubital posterior" in spanish, I don't know how to say that in english, sorry guys*) Chela - Because of the speed of his serve! N - Yes, but the ball bounced really high and I tried to hit a two hander (*in an awkward position*) when the ball hit me. I felt a terrible pain, and from then on I couldn't hit my two handed backhand properly. C - So you had to slice the ball. N - Yes, slice. 4-3 in the first set, I couldn't serve properly and I had to play a backhand slice most of the time. In these conditions, I found myself 2 sets to 0. C - Incredible. But if you had won the match, could you have played the finals? N - No, it was impossible for me to play the finals like this. Impossible. So in the third set we went to a tiebreak and I had a match point, but Roddick hit a tremendous serve to the body which I couldn't even return. Then there was a point, I can't recall if it was 6-5 o 6-6, in which the line judge called a ball out and I thought the point was over, so I just stopped the ball and started to prepare for the next point. But It turned out someone in the audience was the one who had screamed "out", it was not the line judge. It was kind of messy there, and I ended up losing the third set. Then the fourth and fifth set were impossible for me to play with a broken hand and abdominal pain. I knew if I lost the third set, then I wouldn't stand much of a chance to win the match.
Here's the full interview. It's really cool but be warned, it is in spanish: ruclips.net/video/ECm1ccwuCFA/видео.html Chela also interviewed players like Coria, Gaudio and Cañas in the same show. It portrays the player's view of every important stage of their careers, not the media's.
mark philippoussis too, extremely talented, didn't put the work in, i'd throw in david ferrer as well, very consistant and well rounded game, if he'd have lived any other era than the same as rafael nadal, he'd have had a french open title or two
Marcelo Rios never won a GS too and he was number 1 for 4 weeks in 1998 with a different ranking score system breaking Sampras' 102 consecutives weeks in number 1
R C and 'then' went on to continually 'lose' this sort of match situation almost like a curse. Roddick should've won at least 4 more slams. Everytime he got into a match situation like this he choked from this point on, besides wimbledon 2009 when the dust blew up in his face and he lost his composure,. two sets up, two sets down it never mattered. This was Roddick's first well known 5 set match at a major. His 5 set record was beyond horrendous from this onwards. So many memorable and tragic 5 set defeats would follow (aside the French lol). Most frustrating player to watch and support lol. Emma Radacunu's outstanding I mean just awesome win reminded me of Roddick. I fear she might become that 'always "can" win' type of star who will feel the pressure and lose a lot of tight matches
@@patriceaqa288 Women's tennis is a joke these days. Anyone in top 500 can win a slam. Nothing is shocking anymore. The fact that an 18 year old playing in her 4th professional match and winning the tournament, as a qualifier perfectly describes the WTA in 2021, and really the last 5-6 years.

Till 2003 Master Finals, Federer had not beaten Nalbandian including when both played as Juniors. After that match, Federer career took off. He confirmed that in AO 2004 when he beat Nalbandian again.

In turn, that made the match up that much easier for Fed, as he was no longer worrying about Roddick's power.
En este partido nalbandian tenía una lesión abdominal, lo cual le impedía sacar con fuerza, por ende jugó con su segundo saque. Y casi al finalizar el primer sed se lesiona le muñeca y pierde el revés a 2 manos, y juega con slice .

Roddick , Ivanesivich , Krajicek , all bigger servers than Sampras, One way , Pace , and players will adjust to pace eventually, but it was Sampras Second serve that makes him stand out above these guys , the placement & spin , weight , on that 2nd serve . None better , ever . - add to that he was better at net than these guys ,that’s why he owns 14 slams
A bad match up for Roddick. He did well to crawl back into this match despite being 2 match points down. Nalbandian really exposes his movement and outplays him from the back of the court.
Nalbandian took out Federer in that tournament, and I think we know what would have happened if that hadn‘t happened…😅 And I just realized that every other major final of Roddick was against Federer. Well, I‘m happy he got this one after all…
He was a force w Gilbert in his corner. Once his baseline game devolved into a spinny, shallow forehand and a slice backhand, he was quite average once his serve was put back in play.
A normal player my d#ck. People forget what a beast he was. My friend lived with the roddicks at Rick Macy academy. He said andy was beating his brother John at 14 when John was the number 1 player at Georgia. Which was the best team in college tennis
@eoe123321 He would have easily won a few Wimbledons without Federer. He should have beat Fed in 2009. Had that easy volley to go up 2 sets to love. He played amazing that tournament. It's a mute argument though. Look how many French Opens Fed would have won without Rafa. Same thing with Australian and US Opens with Djokovic. The beauty of sports and rivalries.
@eoe123321 He could have won more had he stayed committed to his aggressive attacking game style that he showed in 03 and 04. As soon as he changed his FH to a more loopy and heavy top spin shot, he went from being a slam contender and winning big titles to a guy that could consistently stay in the top 10, but couldn't win the big tournaments.
Nalbandian screwed against Roddick, and against Isner (who was a bard sport in his case). Had both been fair, I'm sure Nalbandian would have won a major.
Y se hizo bien en poner ojo de halcon, hubo muchos partidos que los jueces de línea, y umpires, errores grotescos, y aquí el público también, le robaron este partido a David Nalbandian.
This was one match during his time with Brad Gilbert.. In general, he was up on the baseline most of the time, and he could overpower just about anyone, save for Fed, with the pace he could generate.
@eoe123321 They showed they hawkeye and the ball to break in the fifth set was out. He was also cheated at the end of the 3rd set when a fan called the ball out and the umpire didn't repeat the point.
I cringe when I watch Roddick, he was such a wasted talent. If only he had gotten it together mentally, he could have had such a longer career at the top.
He had it mentally. Unfortunately, he did irreparable damage to his career when he parted ways with Brad Gilbert, and allowed Dean Goldfine to change his FH motion. He had a flat penetrating FH that devolved into spinny topspin FH that would land short. He went from being a big-serving aggressive baseliner to a counterpuncher with a big serve.

@eoe123321 He would have easily won a few Wimbledons without Federer. He should have beat Fed in 2009. Had that easy volley to go up 2 sets to love. He played amazing that tournament. It's a mute argument though. Look how many French Opens Fed would have won without Rafa. Same thing with Australian and US Opens with Djokovic. The beauty of sports and rivalries.
@eoe123321 He could have won more had he stayed committed to his aggressive attacking game style that he showed in 03 and 04. As soon as he changed his FH to a more loopy and heavy top spin shot, he went from being a slam contender and winning big titles to a guy that could consistently stay in the top 10, but couldn't win the big tournaments.
Beat the Wimledon finalists back to back and then lost the tournament to a guy the winner beat.
Not much of a handshake after a 5 set match. Bad blood match?
And the curse of American men's tennis begins...
Nalbandian screwed against Roddick, and against Isner (who was a bard sport in his case). Had both been fair, I'm sure Nalbandian would have won a major.
ナルバンディアンかわいそう(;´д｀)
If there was hawkeye... davis might win.
Le robaron el partido a Nalbandian con ese error
Y se hizo bien en poner ojo de halcon, hubo muchos partidos que los jueces de línea, y umpires, errores grotescos, y aquí el público también, le robaron este partido a David Nalbandian.
En EEUU hubo muchas situaciones que lo beneficiaron a Roddick asquerosamente
Difícil ganarle a rodick
Nalbandian hand shake in the end lol...sore....
Roddick is so far behind the baseline. Can’t out hit anyone.
This was one match during his time with Brad Gilbert.. In general, he was up on the baseline most of the time, and he could overpower just about anyone, save for Fed, with the pace he could generate.
El robo mas grande que hubo en el us open ,david lo estaba paseando .....
Nalbandian got cheated bad by the american umpires
@eoe123321 They showed they hawkeye and the ball to break in the fifth set was out. He was also cheated at the end of the 3rd set when a fan called the ball out and the umpire didn't repeat the point.
nalbandian should've hit the ball in imo, jmo
I cringe when I watch Roddick, he was such a wasted talent. If only he had gotten it together mentally, he could have had such a longer career at the top.
He had it mentally. Unfortunately, he did irreparable damage to his career when he parted ways with Brad Gilbert, and allowed Dean Goldfine to change his FH motion. He had a flat penetrating FH that devolved into spinny topspin FH that would land short. He went from being a big-serving aggressive baseliner to a counterpuncher with a big serve.
Oh shut up about Henin the Hand.
Nalbandian should have won this match
Roddick is so unlikable
