Roddick vs Sampras ● Miami 2001 R3 Highlights

[@alanross2876]

stiffler played tennis?

[@joelliotjake1]

Wished Andy kept that kind of killer instinct, playing big points, unloading through his career... idk.. coaches killed it, consistency over natural ability

[@hussains4904]

Both players service is my favourite

[@sx8246]

what a pleasure to watch

[@spencerkeene5240]

The passing shot at 1:04 looks very familiar. Roger was taking notes

[@Fernball21]

2001 was the year Sampras didn't win a title

[@rs8247]

Crazy to think that. I know Pete was dealing with injuries but more mentally checked out. So glad he ended his career the way he did

[@kakashihatake1029]

​@@rs8247 i was hoping Djokovic would do the same after the olympics but i think he intends on playing until he gets nutted on by young ones every week.

[@v4v819]

Pick any year and you would be right about it being a year you didn't win a title...

[@kazamshah4543]

2001 was a phenomenal year in Tennis. It marked the changing of the guard and ushered in a new era. Today's game has raised the level, but it's nowhere near as exciting.

[@v4v819]

@@kazamshah4543 Talent and play caliber wise the early oughts was considered one of the lowest points in tennis, post prime Sampras and pre prime Federer... Meddling players like Roddick, Hewit, Rafter etc all capitalized on the lul before the changing of the gaurd and they never won again once the competition started up with Federer then the big 3 kicked in and only a couple players had a chance to take a slam from the big 3 oligopoly...

[@gregoryphillips3969]

I didn't realize that Roddick had any wins over Sampras.

[@316Autos]

Roddick had a 2-1 record against Sampras. Had him here and at the Houston clay court finals. Then Sampras destroyed him at the 02 US Open, but Roddick was hurt in that match.

[@manishsharma-dg7wf]

Pistol vs canon

[@farid1406]

Pistols are more accurate, consistent and usable in a fight :)

[@manishsharma-dg7wf]

@@farid1406 14vs 1

[@mtklaric]

bad day for the god of tennis

[@nguyen925]

Had Roddick practiced his backhand down the line.. definitely could have won a few more majors. It was literally just cross court as hard as he could 😂 and slice every now and then

[@kingston4313]

Mate, he even said i think on his podcast he didnt know how to hit a backhand until 2007. jimmy connors had to show him how to hit it lol

[@letrantrung1]

Very few rallies... Mostly about serve.

[@paolomontemurro2569]

Rallies are not mandatory

[@vinixo1480]

How many errors from the line empires. All against Sampras.

[@danidin7127]

Not only that but in the time break a lot of mistakes and non calls against Sampras

[@leroydavis236]

i remember this match. Being a huge sampras fan i was so irritated he lost. he was starting to go down hill

[@Luchon20082010]

Then Federer was going insanely down hill when he lost to Roddick in Montreal 2003 or was about to lose in Toronto 2004😂😂😂😂 Sampras played much better in this match than other matches he lost

[@michaelmontoyaamatyleon4502]

Im a huge sampras fan too , that year 2001 was a diferent Pete , a vulnerable and without energy and motivation Pete.

[@leroydavis236]

@Luchon20082010 players have their day obviously federers situation was different but if you know much about Pete's career he even said he was loosing steam you can tell he was consistently not playing as confident throughout the year and started expressing he didn't have the drive that he used to. So your comment is just demonstrating your short minded ignorance.

[@giannilarouone4702]

Pete wasnt the player he was,he was staying near to the line ,he stay more far ,he serve all the time at his Roddick FH and his 2 serve was slow to petes standards,also silly mistakes,roddick played super but pete it was the superior player and his proved to the us open when he trashed him❤

[@jonm2522]

Always found Roddick head straight down at his toes after a loss of point so annoying. He lost confidence in himself after losing to Federer in that wimbledon final. He had all th toold but the head was not there.

[@kazamshah4543]

I remember when Hewitt used stare down and fiddle with the strings of his racquet when awaiting serve. I always found that annoying.

[@SuperWhofan1]

Hated Andy’s game. He just hit everything hard. No transition game at all.

[@EndoftheTownProductions]

And he would rush the net on questionable approach shots and would be out of position at the net.

[@kakashihatake1029]

​@@EndoftheTownProductions his net game was quite poor for a big server. Not too different from Zverev. At least Zverev relies more on his baseline game tho

[@ARG61292]

Later in his career he got better, but you are right

[@spjfrat]

After a while he overspun his forehand. He only had the big serve. He should have kept Gilbert as coach.

[@ic5761]

Stopped hitting hard, later in his career

[@nelsonvillam]

they both would lose against current top players

[@joemarshall4226]

They would both beat some current top players as well. They would be right in the mix.

[@anandparmeswaran6681]

USELESS play by Pete Sampras ,at this age of 30 years Federer, Nadal, Dojkovic were far better

[@wilsonbarbosa6962]

Boring players
