[@MoLetalis]

Mishits on decisive moments. That volley in the second set. Those enormous misses he hit with his frame in the last game. Like the ball bounced on sand rather than on grass. Poor Andy, he deserved one Wimbledon, just couldn't handle the pressure, like Goran. Only difference was Federer was his opponent and not Rafter.

[@ArmaNilam]

Roddick was one of the best tennis player . Would have been much better if he was born same year as Djokovic and Murray .

[@acjohn6995]

Roddick needed to place his serves better instead of just using power; Federer had more aces. Andy played conventional tennis and it isn't enough.

[@LukasD89]

AC John heavily disagreeing looking at this match. Roger was probably the best st neutralising Andys serve and yet couldn’t break him until the very last game.

[@ThatDereKid]

@Vitor Hara Yes, but he wouldn't have to play Federer in his prime.

[@VF5]

Much respect to Roddick for playing the greatest game of his career. At this point in his career, he was just an after thought when compared to the Fed-Nadal rivalry, as well as an up and coming Nole.

[@darrellwilliams4285]

This match was epic! I remember watching it live and being on the edge of my seat. In my opinion, I put this match right there with the 2008 final. I think the 2008 final will always be remembered simply for the fact that it was Nadal on the other side of the net from Roger. The history those two had leading up the 2008 final, and the climax of that 5th set will always be remembered. But the 2009 final was just as epic. It was a heartbreaking loss for Andy, and although I was rooting for Roger, I felt terrible for Andy. I wouldn't have been disappointed had he won this match.

[@ProcyonAlpha]

​@@henrichvonstaufenberg4841???

[@JL6293]

To me, this is the match that broke Roddick's heart. I've never seen statistics for a match so in favor of the losing tennis player. First serve %, both service winning %, etc. I think I remember a post-match analysis showing ALL major stats in Roddick's favor. Yet Roger - nothing but magic could've managed this win.

[@Aetherwave]

That's actually false. When Roddick flubbed that volley, the stats were pretty much equal in both of the first two sets. Up to that point, Roddick had been remarkably clutch to be on the edge of going two sets to love up despite not playing better (or worse) than Federer. After that, Federer was clearly the better player in the third (Roddick only won 3/32 points on return in that set), Roddick was the better player in the fourth, the fifth was equal until Federer saved double BP, then he was the better player and eventually wore Roddick out and won.

[@danthomas4198]

Federer won more points and return points blah blah blah. The first set was a ridiculous steal for Roddick.

[@ArchHades]

Federer won more points this match than Roddick did, so no it's not a steal. In comparison Federer lost to Nadal in the Australian Open that year and had won more points.

[@thetasurfers]

in short, roddick lost his focus when he was about to win the second set after that one mistake, from which he couldn't recover quickly enough.

[@bazingadude2492]

+Arch Hades Yes but that was only 1 point.

[@justusrivard615]

I’m a Federer fan and I find myself rooting for Roddick in these highlights. Even though this broke Sampras’ record, I hurt more for Roddick than I feel joy for Federer. I wish I could give Roddick 2009 Wimbledon and give Federer 2019 Wimbledon.

[@Noleka154]

And Djokovic the 2013 French open 😔

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

Me too and as an American I was always rooting for Fed in their matches other than 2006 U.S. Open final in 2009 Wimbledon. I think we’re really separates the two is their mental game and their ability to play the best when it matters the most, which Roddick struggled with, he got broken serve in the last game and he shanked the ball at the last point.

Roddick didn't kill Murray at all. It was a tight match Roddick just had a bit more luck & won via tiebreaks which he relied so heavily on throughout this tournament then ironically lost the final in the opposite manner but still Federer scored 10 more points than Roddick in this match overall despite serving a game less than Roddick. When people say "Roddick only had his serve broken once" he had the fastest serve in the game!! He did the least he could in his career with the serving weapon he had.

Roger at 35 is playing much better than 8 years ago. For anyone that knows something about tennis, compare this match to the 2017 Australian open final.

I agree, 6 months away and he came back with a powerful backhand technique.

[@topneorej]

pizzaboy Yes, it's increadible that he was able to make such a change in such short time. Of course he's always had a fantastic and unique wrist action in his backhand, but he's managed to make it a standard shot now. Plus tempo has gone up in the last 15 years. If 2002 Roger were to step in a time machine and go straight to 2017, it would take him months of practise before he could reach third rounds;-)

In the 2nd, it's really unbelievable that Federer survived from 2-6 against such a huge serve player like Roddick, and the 3rd, Federer also proved the heart of a champ, only one point can he dominate the match, born champion. I'm always encouraged by the spirit of Roger in this match, just more than tennis.

[@johnbailey8103]

7:06 the amount of spin Roddick puts on this ball to make it dip right on top of the service line is insane

[@g0gin0]

I still remember that missed BH volley from Roddick like it was yesterday. Damn such an epic miss!

[@Zehpolishw0nder]

Ironically Roddick is probably one of the greatest grass court players of all time, but he got stuck in the same era as the greatest of all time. Same deal with Federer who might be the second greatest clay court player of all time

[@Teukel-gy7gy]

Roddick remined me of another American who made his run, Roscoe Tanner. Killer serve and good ground strokes. Federer showed up with one of his best serve games and great ground strokes. One of the best Wkimbledons ever.

[@connorism69]

One of those finals where the better player on the day ended up losing. Roddick played so well, but Federer just wouldn't lie down. That's why he's a legend.

[@ItsAllAboutGuitar]

This was so painful to watch again. I remembered every point as if it were yesterday. Why did I do this to myself??? I knew it would sting. Every time there was a momentum shift in Andy's favor, I foolishly believed that somehow the outcome would change.

[@dexterous187]

3:39 That Veronica Vaugh is one fine piece of ace, I know from personal experience.

[@iammituraj]

Jeez the second set tiebreak! That changed everything

[@movieguruxx]

I remember watching this match. My heart broke for Roddick.

[@avikbairagya807]

Roddick is one of the greatest service hand of History

[@younisal-hosni7067]

i miss roddick

[@mpa1931]

I'm a Roger fan but this is the only GS title I regret that he won.

[@AlecF234]

Im the biggest federer fan, watched him as i grew up, but roddick deserved his 2nd grand slam title here! #sadbutnotsad

[@deluxewaterless7229]

Wished Roger was younger and still playing and winning trophies including Wimbledon. There were a few grand slams he should not have lost and if Nasal had not been a Master on clay Roger couid have won about 6 french opens. Roger alongside Novak and Rafa are the goat of all time.

[@connorism69]

As big a Rafa fan as I am, I fail to see how this match wasn't remembered as the best Wimbledon final in recent history. The 2008 final was incredible, but this was much closer, and Roddick was throwing everything at Federer. Loads more tense moments and pressure, and neither player lulled at all. Up until the 2018 semi-final between Nadal and Djokovic, I always thought of this final as perhaps the best match I'd seen at Wimbledon.

[@monicachang6902]

I was a devoted fan of Roddick since he started his career as a professional player. It hurt me too much that he could have won this major but didn't. So, till today, I have not yet watched this Wimbledon. At the time I was in Paris. I usually don't remember when I was where traveling, but that 2009 I was in France have been sticked to my mind forever. i could feel how Roddick must have felt that time. I am a fan of Djokovic, but I still keep up of how Roddick is doing with his life. I guess I like Andy's as a person more than anything, his humor and his witty personality. Maybe some day I will watch this Wimbledon.

[@tennisandogs]

God settled the score. Andy Roddick's revenge is finally accomplished in 2019

[@TheKakarot_itachi]

Not exactly. Revenge would have been Roddick winning a wimby or beating fed at wimby or both

[@tennisandogs]

@@TheKakarot_itachi correct this should be called compensation, i wish Federer had lost this one in place of Wimbledon 19.

[@krisdire923]

Great edit!!

[@adpranav6445]

2 greatest mysteries of al times 1. How Roddick lost 2009 wimbeldon. 2. How federer lost 2019 Wimbledon.

[@mickaellandry9726]

2019 is not a mystery, Djokovic was simply the better player in all keys moments

[@abdelneeson6921]

Even though I am a Fed fan, I really wanted Roddick to win Wimbledon at least once... He richly deserved that.

[@ayykris85]

wat Roger did to roddick, Novak did to Roger, plain & simple, "to cause intense pain"

[@EmiratesReider]

It's sad the fact the match ended the same way as 10 years later.... roddick and federer sending out the ball the same way

[@MrMatek20]

The biggest choke in history of tennis. 6-2 in tie-break, and fatal volley at 6-5. Roddick should finished career after this match.

[@Aka_daka]

Roddick got nervous you can tell how hesitant he was.

[@timn690]

He was never the same after this match, that's for sure. Essentially, this match did finish his career.

[@farid1406]

He did.

[@germ0s]

It was a tough one to smash it with the backhand. And well, he reached the final in Indian Wells 2010 and won Miami 2010. I wouldn't say that, but all the effort he spent with Stefanki deserved much more, at least this Wimbledon.

[@darrellwilliams4285]

I still can't believe he lost that breaker. Watching it live, I just knew he was going up 2 sets to love. If he would have won that breaker, he would have been the 2009 Wimbledon champion.

Golden outfits, Golden Trophy, Golden Federer.
