roger federer is the world best returner of services ever..even roger cant return roddick's serve yesterday ....then nadal will never return the roddick serve .....nadal is powerful hitter when it comes to rally ..but his service is very poor one ....only roger cannn..roddick is the superstar to strech the legend to maximum limit ...rafa is a poor guy even cant participate in wimbeldon...nadal is in bed now after powerful hitting and losing to soderling..nadal is going to retire early if he continues his power hitting

well nadal probably needs your advise on how to survive in the game...he is only 22. Even if he continues to be injury pronr, then also he has atleast 5 good years left in him....and considering his play, you can bet that he will win another 7-8 slams coz other than federer, i do not think there is anyone on professional tour who can sidetrack him, barring few upsets..

Guys understand, Nadal never attacks. His tennis is always defensive. He works on others weakness, rather than his strenths. Start attack your opponent , you dont have to run ..this much. Soldering would have defeated NADAL, even if he was not injured. Becasue that game was so superb and h just blunted Nadal

Fedex/federer is not just lucky, if you have seen the match then you would have noticed Federer was looking almost fresh even at the end of the 5h set whereas Roddick looked like he is going to collapse i think that is federer's strength he has immense stamina, i am no expert but that was what i felt he just makes it look so easy and looks like he is always prepared for a tough 5 setter.

i agree that yesterday, roddick played really well overall and infact played better than fedex...but he faltered at the key moment...that is what happens to everyone while playing against federer, except for a certain rafael nadal...

IF U THINK TAT WAY FEDERER WINS THE SHEER OF LUCK THEN U ALL MUST AGREE LAST WIMBLEDON NADAL HAD A SHEER OF LUCK WHILE BEATING THE LEGEND ROGER ...AND ONCE AGAIN IN AUS OPEN 09 NADAL HAD A SHEER LUCK ..WHERE ROGER PLAYED VERY WELL IN HE FINALS
eventhough i am a fan of Federer,I wished your victory in the final..you really played like a champion...and as Federer said after the match that he was on the luckier side on that day...congrats Roddy
great effort by roddic , this is called the true final match, it was amazing watching great players to win the trofy , one wanted to win it to creat a history another wanted to win it first time but at the end winner is fedder awesome player
yesterday it was a case of so near yet so far for roddick.. but one thing for sure.. djokovic can wait for a while as this age belongs to fedex, nadal and A-rod for sure...

True!!Only 2 bad mishits and not a game cost poor Roddick the title.He even surprised himself more than anybody else with his performance.But very good for mens tennis because now this will not only be Fedex and Nadal show.

gujarathi it is his nick name fedex. if you dont know better late than never.
Kudos to both the players for ensuring that high quality grass court tennis is the ultimate winner. Congrats to Federer for the incredible win and stamina. I feel really sorry for Roddick. He simply played great tennis and equally deserved to win. Its only that sports can sometimes be so cruel to individuals. I hope that Roddick wins the singles title at Wimbledon some day, preferably next year. I am also saddened to see that serve and volley players in Wimbledon are very rare to be seen. The likes of Edberg, Becker, Sampras....who were masters in this art really made Wimbledon a very exciting affair. Though the likes of Federer, Roddick and Nadal are great players, they rarely prefer to come to the net. In tennis there is nothing more fascinating to see than quality serve and volley grass court tennis

A very good assessment of the finals.I concur that serve & volleys are rarely to be seen in Wimbledon nowdays!!

Serve and volley sucks. It's kind of cheating actually where you cunningly rush to the net and place the ball
