Roger was just being Roger. Enough said about him. But Andy deserves mountains of respect. He's generally underestimated because he lost in finals to one of the greatest of all time. And in most of those it was quite close: Andy managed to stay with Roger. On 2 occasions Andy nearly won. He played great tennis. There are some who've said that apart from the awesome serve, Andy's game was quite mediocre. That's sheer nonsense. You don't win a grand slam and reach many finals by having a game that's in any way mediocre. Andy was a great player, and he definitely is one of the 100 best players of all time. He simply had the misfortune of playing during Roger's time.

Well said. When very young he had to deal with Sampras. Then, he had to play Fed in his later years. A tough task for any human.

That ace on set point in the first tie-break was legendary.🤩

Thanks for another full match from the past, and bring us more :)

This would have been more enjoyable had the commentators the sense to shut up during play.

I like how both players don't yell at their box when they missed a shot. Now a days, everyone yell at their box when they are playing bad.

Not to Nadal

Does anyone have the original USA Network broadcast of this match? Andre Agassi guest commentated and had terrific analysis and insight. I wish I could see that version again...

The only "ERROR" of Andy was no targeting constantly to the backhand to Roger, as Rafa and Nole did!

it's so fun comapring a match from the mid/late 2000s to nowadays (only very small differences) and comparing a match from the mid early/mid 90s to mid 2000s (huge differences, especially in terms of speed and precision)

He could have taken rest after this and his momentum in 2008 wouldn't have dipped

39:02 i watched the entire set and got pretty sure Federer got 13 winners while Roddick got 7(this without including aces) but somehow both got an insane boost of winners😂😂😂😂(specially Roddick)

There is too much talk here ! 😮😮😮

1:12:57 El momento en que RF ganó el partido, aquí lo mató mentalmente a Roddick, Roger le regresó un servicio a 140MPH!!!!

Djokovic is the goat, but prime federer is the highest level any tennis player has ever reached. When he's on, he won't lose to anyone

Man these commentators like to hear the sound of their own voices, just shut upppppp

Too much talking here ! annoying 😮
