@GTS Actually against most guys, Roddick's way was sound, that's why he was in the Quarter finals in the first place. The thing is you just can't go to the net after each point no matter how good you are against Nadal, he will always get some from you(Federer is a prime example), also when Roddick rallied he stayed behind and waited for errors but the only thing he got was forehand winners from Nadal, again this strategy works, just not against Nadal.

Trent Timoy You should never volley back at anyone, not just Nadal, unless you’re both at the net and you’re trying to hit your opponent. Always hit away from the player, regardless if you’re playing Nadal, Federer, McEnroe, Rod Laver, or any other opponent in the history of tennis. Also don’t hit to Nadal’s forehand either, both his ground strokes are deadly. You’re advice is kinda obvious and doesn’t need to be said

Roddick's baseline game actually deteriorated post 2005, after which he was seemingly incapable of hitting clean winners off the ground and his forehand, which was probably one of the biggest in the early 2000's, lost a lot of depth and potency. He became so serve-dependent throughout the latter part of his career, and led to maulings like this against elite players who could completely expose his harmlesslness off the ground and lack of any real variety.

In March 2024 in a fascinating podcast interview with Brad Gilbert he said he regretted not working longer with Brad who we now know is one of the best coaches ever.

Give the man some respect. He is a former No. 1 in the world, he won a slam, he made multiple slam finals, he took Roger Federer in his prime to five sets in a Wimbledon final...the list goes on, people.

I always rooted for Roddick, but it was so tough to watch him with his lackluster approach shots so he got burned over and over at the net. He never seemed to have a plan B either. Approaches should be deep, and if you hit an angle on them then really make your opponent stretch to not leave the court open. Players like Nadal love a target so you need to hit good approach shots against them, especially when you are not comfortable at the net, like Roddick. Roddick was always a very weak volleyer. Can see a lot of examples here where he failed to put volleys away or missed ones he shouldn't.

Anybody else find themselves thinking "What the HELL?" when it came to Roddick's strategic choices? Seems that he often hit the ball exactly where he shouldn't have.

So which was more humiiliating for Andy, this loss or vs. Fed in '07 AO?

Definitely 2007, Roddick was still a solid Top 5 player back then. In 2011 he was already in decline

aburg10s terms of scoreline, this is. But Fed absolutely made him look like a fool in that match. Fed 07, because no one expected Roddick to even push nadal here.

No one dislikes how Nadal typically plays more than me. But i love the way he plays here.

I'd really love to know what Rafa had for breakfast that very morning. Man was unstoppable, felt like he could've played the last two sets and still beaten Roddick 6-1 6-1, just scary.

Damn, Rafa! I remembered when he could barely win a game against Andy. What a ways he came! Roddick had no answers for Nadal.

He's got a huge serve...but it seems pretty easy for the top guys to get back...Does it lack spin, placement? I remember players like Becker, Goran would serve like 2,000 aces a game... Even Sampras would get like 1,000. Why so few aces these days? Took power off the ball?

Roddick's volley has never been good, and Nadal's passing shots are among the best ones in history. Definitely not well planned by Andy.

Qué paliza le dió Nadal a Roddick, en su superficie y estadio favorito. Con su público. El rey del saque y volea fue humillado ganando sólo 6 juegos en 3 sets 😱.

Maybe Roddick was destroyed so badly Nadal figured there was no other reason than that he was injured, despite it being Roddick's inability to work around Nadal's gameplan?

@Rajeev Shrivastava Which makes it no less valid than the idea that Roddick was injured, because as far as I can tell he wasn't.
@JimKirk1

@Rajeev Shrivastava I will concede that he did get an injury a couple months before, so it is possible that he either wasn't fully recovered from it or re-injured it playing after only a couple weeks.

Djokovic beat Nadal in 4 and was 2 match points down versus Fed. It's just the big 3 that were dominating this tournament once again, not solely Nadal and Djokovic.

Roddick had no idea how to play Nadal, which was weird because he beat Nadal at Miami and was close in beating him at the WTF the year before.

Seems like Roddick didn't have the legs to rally from the back, as he played a tough 4 setter the day before..so he took a big risk going to net often to shorten the points and that is dangerous against the speed, power and precision passing of Rafa..!

I would avoid going to the net against Rafa unless you are sure of winning the point. His passing shots are the best and can be played from the most awkward positions

People are criticizing roddick here. Which he deserves some criticism but this was also prime Rafa.
