I dont like when there is no scoreboard on the screen
Maybe the TV at the time didn't have enough room bc it's 4:3 aspect ratio. I think that was the main reason why they invented the 16:9 aspect ratio, to make tennis viewer like you happier. JAJAJA
Google global truth project and read 'The Present' for the truth about life/death explained simply. Everyone needs to read it asap b/c it can change the world.
Roddick’s FH until 2005 used to be a giant weapon. and a treat to watch.
Yep! Then looked like he tried to 'Nadal' his forehand and it really suffered.
He was great in esrly twenties and then had great drop in performance.
He got a shoulder surgery that required him to change how he hit his forehand
Source?
Roddick had a massive forehand in the first part of 05 season too
Roddick served 152,151(out),149,147,144,143(into Nadal's body),142,141(to Nadal's face) in one match.
That's monstrous
When the female announcer commented on Nadal running around to his forehand and leaving all the court open. I was like trust me lady it works for him. 😂
time?
It's not her fault - she had no idea what a BEAST Rafa is lol.

Why do Americans use "like" for "said" or "think"?
@@Straight_Talk but what if I'm not American? But you're totally right about my terrible grammar!
Who would have thought at that moment that Rafa would end up winning 4 US Opens and Roddick just one
yeah true I was thinking the same thing
that was Roddick's only slam and Nadal would get 19!
@@vincechau4789 12 at the French open
Roddick had to face a prime Federer, where on hard courts Roger was almost unbeatable as he was on grass from 2004 to 2007. That's four prime years that Andy had as well. There are a lot of talented players that could of won more titles, just that Roger was there. Think of Hewitt, Safin, Coria, Nalbandian, even Agassi probably could of won another title in that span, but Roger was just too good. Sometimes the timing is right, and sometimes it isn't.
Malcolm Norman so what? Djokovic has like 11 titles on hard court slams. Us and Aus. If there were two slams on clay like there are on hard Nadal would have even more.
It's amazing to see Roddick hit with such power on his forehand, he was going toe-to-toe with Rafa and dominating!
@zakaria djouzi yes!!!!!!!! I did mean that!!!!!!!!! Not prime Rafa obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!
@zakaria djouzi teenager is 14-15 yrs old not 18 😂. Rafa had all the power and speed already here but lacked experience. Roddick was just too good, that's why he lost not because he was a 'teenager' lol
@@mickeyguide3112 Nadal wasn't even top 20 ranked yet.
Roddick was great playee in early twenties and then had significant drop.
@@mickeyguide3112 Nadal was returning from a lengthy injury and just 18. Didn't he destroy Roddick at Davis Cup though? Lol
22:34 ridiculous serve. Never seen ANYONE do that to Nadal
28:20 is more lethal though xD
Fast body serves should be illegal 😅
so true. That roddick serve was a bomb!!
In a match where we see Rafa is completely overwhelmed, we still his fighting spirit and desire to win. No wonder Rafa has turned into a legend of the sport
Rafa is the reason why I watch tennis.
Me too
Andy Roddick was the reason I started watching.
@@5thPwnaor I think you are 50 years old
What is your favorite about rafa?
Do you like the but picking
28:20
Great match, a treat to see a prime, authoritative Andy Roddick. Those were some bombastic first serves in the opening set; Nadal really had to adjust and hone in on the speed. Also nice to see Roddick have some success coming into the net for a change. Thanks for the upload, US Open.
A treat to teenagers maybe. Nadal was only 18 here and thus a teenager by definition. The sole reason why Roddick won here is because Nadal was a teenager and had not yet reached his prime. After this win, Roddick never beat again Nadal at Slams. In fact, check it out the USO 2011 QF, where Nadal destroyed peak 29 years old Roddick. Nadal owns the H2H over Roddick 7-3 (70% of victories).
No constant grunting and groaning. I miss those days.
Bro this is first time I realise Roddick was world number one at 21 years old. Younger than Roger, Novak or Rafa first became no1. Crazy.
Safin and hewitt were even younger when they reached n1
That’s why he got only 1 gs he so so young
Roddick was great in early twenties and then had performance drop.
Roddick’s Reebok outfit was straight fire
Yeah. RBK Camo Crew t-shirt is one of best ever. And it was just 29.99$. But Reebok's Court Victory Pump low-cut shoes wasn't even available for sale
It's so weird to not see Rafa doing his pre-serve ritual or hear him saying ooohhaaahh after every shot. Young Rafa!
Ikr 😂 safe to say after that year he became a star , he definitely put everyone on notice when he beat federer that year .
I love how they casually brought up this junior named "Gael Monfils" during the match in their conversation about juniors. Around 1:08:55 :))
Was watching the 2004 Wimbledon final between Federer and Roddick a while ago, and you can hear cheers in the distance... and the broadcasters mention that a young man named Gael Monfils just won the junior title. So cool to think about.
@@paulsmith726 and choked as profesional
@@nikovidovic3410 after watching Monfils junior video, I think his goal was to make it to pro rank, which he did. He looked much more serious compared to pro day
Baby Rafa. 🤗
Roddick nearly murdered Rafa with his serves on this day. It was because of this match Rafa would stand 20ft behind the baseline ever since.
9 months later Rafa would win his first GS at Roland Garros.
And 4 years later Nadal would reach his first Slam SF on hard.
@@levronyames6680 correction. Nadal reached his first hardcourt major SF at 2008 AO, 2.5 years and 11 major tournaments later.
Nadal and federer are the only reason I started watching since French open 2004 semi final. Until then I know nothing about tennis
You mean 2005 semifinal?
4:17 Roddick bomb serve 152 MPH >>> karlovic
The ball wasn't even out of reach, it was just so fast that Nadal could only whiff it. That's insane.
Roddick and his massive serve. Aside from that the guy has no variety in his game. I never understood how anyone can fall in love with a slice and run up to the net the way roddick loved doing it so much
Roddick looks like a boss in the thumbnail
Is the best quality in the archives US Open? There is footage on RUclips from the ‘04 final in at least 720p
Hay un canal que sube videos de tenis de estos años y de más atrás en mejor calidas, sin los marcos y con el marcador. Este es el canal oficial de un major, se podrían tomar la molestia de poner el marcador por lo menos.
Thank you so much for uploading!
1:09:09 Gael Monfis remember the name !!!
Monfis he has a great playing style
Where? Wrong minute?
Man, Rafa improved light years from this match... he was weak as hell back then 😂 his volleys looked bad, he serves we’re horrible, he was not consistent... most improved player of all time!
Well, he was 18 at the time
@@dominikmatic4032 Yes, but he still was a phenomenon at that age. That's the reason many compared him with Borg, only he and Borg won 16 titles as teenagers.
Watch Federer or Djokovic matches when they were 18 too. Federer had worst temper tantrums than Kyrgios
That surface was way faster than todays hard courts
Nadal forehand is totally diff now . He doesn’t take it as far back as here . That serve of roddick was his down fall . He put so much energy into serving . He had none left for return game and gassed out by the 3rd set
Seeing Nadal getting bageled is surreal! Even at 18 years of age.
Andy roddick just blew a hole right through rafa at this point in their careers.
look how fast the courts were, that's probably why. lucky for Rafa everything slowed down to favour him.
bugwandis looks the same speed to me. Rafa just got a lot better and Roddick got older.
Rafa already beat him a couple weeks after this lol
Rafael Mertin Lol at Davis cup finals in 5 amazing sets on clay. that’s how fast Rafa was improving. That match was awesome. Roddick played really well on clay too for his standards.
@@goldwolf0606 it's not.
Baby Rafa , only 18 years old!!
Yeah - and inside a year after this match 'baby Rafa' spanked Roger on the way to winning the French Open. Smashed off the court by little baby Rafa - ouch.
It’s funny to see Rafa in dragon ball outfit
It’s glorious lol 😂
Might be because he watched dbz as a kid! Check on wikipedia, apparently he ran home every day after school to watch it
Does anyone know where we can find Roddick's jersey from this US Open ? Please
I think Federer screwed up Roddick's game. This style right here is very effective against Nadal, but against Federer Roddick would lose big playing like this, so he adapted to try to beat Federer, but in the process his style was also no longer effective against Nadal.
Most of their future matches were on clay ironically enough and no version of Roddick is ever going to beat Nadal on clay. Nadal also was not in his prime in this match, he wasn't even top 20 ranked, but Roddick also declined bigtime when he fired Gilbert, a huge mistake.
Not really. Rafa’s game evolved over time as well. By 2009, none of the big hitters like Roddick, Gonzalez, or Blake were beating him like they used to. He turned all of the H2Hs around. Rafa also got better at neutralizing big servers, hence why Karlovic and Isner have never beaten him.
Roddick is younger than Federer, and has been retired for 8 years. Let that sink in. Federer is still competing for Grand Slams.
now watch nadal-roddick at the 2011 us open to compare
Nadal was very quiet back then. Not much mourning.
Nice outfit on A.R ;)
Roddick's serve was amazing at this time. Nadal is one of the best return of servers of all time and Roddick makes him look silly at 3:55 with a 142 mph serve down the T that Nadal doesn't even have time to react to it, to the serve at 4:17 at 152 mph were Nadal swings and misses about 60 seconds after the ball blew by him.
Roger and particularly Novak are brilliant returners, too, obviously, with Novak arguably the greatest at it, but I suspect there's a speed at which it no longer matters, human reaction limits DO exist. Of course those radars measure the speed at the point they've just been hit, not when they reach the opponent, but even so it's kind of moot.
@@steeltrap3800 You are correct about the serve speed being measured at the point it leaves the racquet and human reaction limits. A Roddick serve hit at 140 mph on a hard court would still be traveling about 105-110 mph when it reached the server. A ball traveling at that speed goes about 160 feet per second. The distance from the serve line to the base line is 18 feet. If the returner was 10 feet beyond the base line he would have about 1/10 of a second to respond. Virtually impossible for a human even if the serve was hit close to the returner.
@@davidevans1611 Yes, it's remarkable how effective Roger was at reducing the significance of Andy's serve.
Obviously he didn't negate it, but frequently he limited it to a level where his dominance in pretty much every other aspect would see him defeat Andy on nearly every occasion.
I haven't looked up their head to head but I bet it's painful for Andy; he'd CERTAINLY have won more slams were it not for Roger.
While plenty of players can say that, from memory Andy stands out as one of those whose record suffered particularly.
It reminds me of test level batsmen facing seriously fast bowlers; their available times for reactions are very low, and it's obviously instinctive to a considerable degree, too.
Cheers
@@steeltrap3800 Exactly. Roger, besides being a great player was also a smart player. He seldom tried to attack Roddick's first serve, just get it in play and start the point. He did this with most big servers. Andy has said on TV playing Roger in all those GS finals was painful. I still watch Federer on RUclips frequently. To me he was the most stylish player of the modern era and the most fun to watch. Cheers to you too.
4 years apart. This was a enjoyable match to watch.>>>>
Rodiccik how long would it have been for Rafa last year?
Roddick was such a stud here
Roddick ruined his game when he started slicing all his backhands. Never understood that.
Before 2008 Rafa main weakness was his serve Roddick could return most of his serve on the deeper part of the court.
bro there's a tennis video in your midroll ads
Haha
Do Alex Deminaur vs Marin Cilic 2018
Do Federer vs Dimitrov 2019
Do Monfils vs Shapovalov 2019
Do Federer vs Millman 2018
Federer vs Millman was a very poor match from Roger, not very interesting match
@@pierre6963 thanks for the feedback what should my third one be
I guess the moral of this match is...how far does a 152 mph serve get you? We all know the answer by now...Di di mau Rafa!
that does not change the fact he got completely dominated in this match. roddick was better.
Rafa could have returned it on RG
How far? I dont know, being n1, wunning 1gs and having multiple finals, and a handful of masters despite having an average game outside the fh, so yes pretty far
Blame the courts too
THEY'RE ONLY 4 YEARS APART???
Roddick was great playee in early twenties and then had significant drop. (with very few exceptions)
Big gay to notice but Rafas outfit here is one of his best lol
who could bet in 2004 that this guy was going to win 12 roland garros
Never liked how twitchy Roddicks game was makes me nervous watching him
I'm probably the only one who thinks this, but for any wrestling fans, I always felt Nadal looked a bit like Matt Hardy, and Roddick like Jeff Hardy. THE TENNIS HARDY BOYZ EXPLODE! lol
Rafa just turned 17 years old when this match happened (not 18)
Rafael Nadal born 3 June 1986. US Open 2004 started August 30. He was 18.
Anytime Roddick is winning 75% of net points in a set, something is seriously wrong. In this case, facing a teenager unsuited to the surface.
Unbelievable. An unpopular Rafa could not win a single game against a household name in set one. I remember their last match in the same tournament, can't remember what round and year. Probably, it was the year when Andy Roddick was outside the Top 10 and was nearing retirement. He was annihilated by Rafa.
It was 2011 quarter finals. Nadal was on fire that day just hitting passing shots for fun😂
@@bowiththeflow7123 I better check that out again.
Awesome !!
This is not HD or 1080p more like 240p
HD did not even exist in 2004
@@mitchellredhead2858 yes it did
roddick is really underrate. he would smack any of the current generation players aside with ease
no
I'm going blind watching this low res videos....
ohh dang that first world problem sounds BAD dude. how are you actually surviving getting to sit around and watch a classic intrigue of a sport that the gens before you didn't have?
このロディックのウェア懐かしい✨後輩が買って着てたなぁ✨
Babolat vs Babolat
and people will still argue Federer benefited from a weak era even though here's Nadal losing to a "weak" player in dominant straight sets
You cannot mean Roger's generation is half as tough as Rafa, no way. Djokovic and Murray are more or less Nadal's age, the best Federer's age player are Rodick, Nabaldian and Ferrer...
LOL Nadal was not even ranked in the top 20 yet and nowhere near his prime level. And of course Nadal's greatness is mostly on clay and Roddick would get humiliated anytime they played there, probably even vs baby Nadal. I never thought Federer played in a weak era but that is a poor example.
This match is not the match to make that point on lol
Roddick was such a bad ass
for some reason RG has better HD than US open.
Thinking about this, Nadal had already beaten Federer in Miami that year so it shows the quality from Roddick here. Just a bad match-up as well for young Rafa.
Wow their age differemce is so small? So Roddick could be playing till 2 years ago? He retired early? He is age of Federer or younger?
He’s a year younger than Federer.
So what you're saying is, Roddick plays with raw power??
The older Rafa gets the shorter his shorts get
What pixel is Rafa??
22:34 ouch
If you enabled auto-subtitles, nadal’s name became “the dog” 😂😂😂 1:17:18
"BG: If Nadal was a stock I'd buy it"
He'd be sitting pretty on a pile of cash if he could have done that.
Rafa looks like a cute pirate
anybody know the name of the female commentator?
Didnt know stifler played tenis
Poor Andy had no idea this guy would go on to win 19 grand slams. More, if his serve wasn't so shitty and gave free points to his opponents in particular grand slam finals...
This match is the opposite of their 2011 matchup when Nadal obliterated a washed up Roddick.
Slow court and Roddick was already done by then... No chance.
@@masters.1000 The courts are the same, I would say that are faster, the only thing that changed are the balls.
@@masters.1000 If I remember correctly, the U.S. open courts were still fast in 2011. They changed the courts after 2014, right?
54:35 100% out
6:01 18:15
Wait a second, Nadal was world No.2 in 2004?
When in the video does it say that? Cause I’m pretty sure he wasn’t.
Roddick was 2 in the world in 2004
... and that was the last time Roddick beat Nadal!! 😅
he beat him twice more
Even at this point, Nadal on clay would've won.
Rafa was there 17 years old
18
What happened to Roddick, he fell away from the top players, he had all the arsenal, maybe not the brains like Kyrgios. Such a shame when players of his caliber don't get anywhere, maybe mentally farked.
2020 advancements in camera technology, might be time to get rid of lines judge
somehow Nadal started grunting later during his career i suppose....
No
Wow this is not the same Nadal at all, nowhere near as consistent
well, he is 18 here
pre ass picking days..like this Rafa better...
Nunca había visto tantos smashes errados de rafa.
Ese año rafa ya le había ganado a Roger
Nadal was much more successful after he adopted the "Man Scream".
Is not real rafa
one slam wonder Roddick. all hype. sad.
he wasn't 'all hype' TF are you talking about? he just had the bad fortune to be born in an era wherein he had to content with two GOATS of the sport. he had a great career actually. that's like saying del potro or ferrer were 'all hype'
Oh A-Roddick this shirt honey lord Jesus 🙈lol thankgod he’s pretty lol 😂
Hello mister andy how r u men🙋🙋🙋🙋
That why federer era from 2004-2007 is the hardest in the open era...
