This is why federer is the best. Even when the opponent is having a super human day, his range allowes him multiple options to find a way to win. Contrast with say Rosol vs Nadal or Wawrinka vs djokovic - Although by far the most athletic players to ever play tennis, their uni dimensional game gives them a hard time when the opponent is on a rampage

@angryniggah Exacty - On a fast speedy surface like grass, when your opponent is having an especially good day, its much more difficult for nadal/djokovic to overcome them. Its not like they havent - they are them after all. Most of the matches ,especially in the recent years have been played on much slower surfaces, including slowed grass allowing nadal/djok to counter anything with their inhuman athletic prowess and stability. My point is that Federer has much more variety and tools to disrupt an opponents rhythm on any surface than the usually one trick ponies nadal djock are. And I do not mean any disrespect here - that one trick has them at 21 and 20 gs so far and will likely win them more

i picked up from Federer that no matter how well Andreev played he was still going to be unconcerned. the better Andreev played (he DID play well), the more interesting it was for Fed, in fact. Andreev playing well kept the match from being too boring and helped him get ready for the next round. that is the confidence of the supremely talented and there is no shame for Andreev or anyone else losing to a player like that.

The way Andreev hits his topspin forehand is much more likely to result in immediate injury- at least in elbow and shoulder followed by head. It looks so stiff. Nadal's shot has more penetration and power simply because it's more linear and fluid. Even though Andreev plays a somewhat similar game to Rafa, the difference is more likely in the pain threshold and mentality. Rafa is more or less somewhat a masochist compared to this guy.

Andreev's game is def. similar to Nadal's. I guess growing up playing in Spain on the red clay will do that to a player, lol. In all seriousness though, he is definitely an underachiever. I mean, you don't expect for him to beat Federer and Nadal on a regular basis, but he chokes so often against lower ranked players! He often plays three sets in best of three sets and finds ways to choke. It's like he has to win in 2 in order to win, but yet he doesn't get beaten in straights sets either.

This match is a perfect example of how short tennis players like Andreev, Nishikori, and Schwartzman are at a major disadvantage when playing individuals that are around 6'1-6'4, including Roger. I will admit that shorter players are generally more explosive. However, they must, in comparison to players like Roger: 1. Use more energy to get to every ball, since they have shorter strides, tiring them earlier in points and over the course of the match 2. Use more energy to hit the ball hard, since they have less body weight, also tiring them more 3. Hit far more shots above their strike zone, taking more energy and generally making their shots weaker or spinnier and more attack-able 4. Serve at a lower angle, making it more difficult to hit an ace or have a high serving percentage while still hitting a hard serve 5. Cover more ground with their feet because their reach is not as long In this match, these ideas were easy to see. In any baseline exchange, to get to a ball on the run, Andreev had to sprint like a mad man and take at least 6 quick steps to cover the baseline before coiling his entire body mass and uncorking with all his energy to hit a ball that was over his head, producing a shot that was angled nicely but short in the court, spinney, and somewhat weak. To respond, Federer could take 3 steps because of longer strides and far longer reach, use just his body weight and not overstrain, and loosely hit the ball with much less effort in his strike zone, blasting a ball down the line for winner in a high percentage manner. It is nearly impossible for someone like Andreev to overcome this consistently enough over a five set match to have any real chance of winning, even though his pound for pound ability in this match seemed to be at Federer's level.

@gargarensi Not at all, Andreev is completely different type of player than Nadal. Hes ususally exremely offensive on his forehand, and likes to atack the net after inside-out forehands. Nadal on the other hand usually stays very defensive until he gets a really good opportunity. Apart from both playing heavy topspin theres nothing they share.

I think that Igor Andreev for Roger was uncomfortable opponents in spite of personal meetings,he always gave a dignified soprotivlenie Roger,and lost the fight almost always. Ah and match on The U.S. open 2008 was for Federer large test of. Only Igor could give a fight to Roger then. Forcing then and play 5 sets. But psychologically Andreeva was not enough as I think in that component he was very weak. And so I think it could win in any match from Roger.
