Miami Open, ATP Masters 2018

Agreed about Del Potro moping between points. Annoys the hell out of me. Other than that and his often late bs challenges, I like his game and have nothing else bad to say about him. Needs to cut that shit out though.

Everyone handles and manages their emotions differently.. Everyone can’t be like Roger.. Roger wasn’t always like that .. he has mellowed

 

[the AntiPusher]

That is a tautology dude. If the gap is not huge, one would not call it a big four era.

I dont know if Roddick is better than JoWillieTs.. I would challenge anyone on that one. I think Roger would too

What?? Are you really suggesting that JoWillie is better than Roddick? For real?

You damn straight.. Roddick had just a serve.. JoWillieTs and Berdych both have provided more obstacles for Roger that Roddick ever did.. Roger could have spotted Andy two sets in every grand slam encounter and defeated him. I know this isnt gonna be popular on this board BUT RODDICK was over rated Big Time

so you're defining Roddick by his match up against Federer? How does that make any sense? You do understand tennis right?

Which means Federer is also overrated because he owned a scrub like Roddick.

Dont start that shit with me...You know damn well I know the game of tennis.. This is what annoys folks on this board with you.. You talk like you invented the fuckin game..stay in your lane.. I dont have to validate my knowledge of tennis.. Roddick made a splash when Pete and Andre got old but the real ball strikers like Roger and Nalbandian quickly shut his noise down..

That’s such a dumbass statement

 

[atttomole]

That’s such a dumbass statement

You have been back for a few days and you are already worked up. Looks like you can't debate.

Lol! My lane? Invented tennis? Not really. I just don't make declarative statements like that and I find people who do amazing. Now if you please, can you tell me why Roddick's H2H against Federer is relevant in assessing his stature in comparison to the likes of Berdych and Tsonga. What have they done to merit positions above him? The guy won a slam, and was in multiple other finals, and was ranked no 1. On what planet have either of those two done anything comparable?

PS, I don't waste my time trying to assess your knowledge of tennis, but if you want me to judge you're not doing to well right now

I will be interested in debating but not when someone if just tryin to pull my johnson real hard..I have no ill will towards you.. You are all good with me

 

[Federberg]

Good grief! Roddick has won more titles (32) than Berdych (13) and Tsonga (16) combined. This makes no sense to me whatsoever

Thomason Jo, Gaudio both won a slam..Rio was ranked number 1 at one time..see where I am going with this one Einstein...like I said if you don’t agree Fine ..but you want to question someone’s knowledge that just asinine..

 

[Federberg]

Not sure why you're so emotional matey. I'm not questioning your knowledge or more accurately your lack of knowledge. You're not making any sense to me. What do Gaudio and Johanssen have to do with Roddick. On what basis do you see either Berdych or Tsonga as comparable to Roddick. It's difficult to even make a case that the combination of those two even match the achievements of Roddick, so making the case that they surpass him individually seems like a real stretch to me. Please educate me. Why do you think they are better?

OK, but you should try to be calm, so that you can present your argument properly. You may have facts to support your claims, but just try to state those facts without being severe.

Come on man, you know there's more to tennis than your record vs Roger Federer right? That'd be like one of us saying Davydenko is better than Murray because he has given Nadal fits.

Darth..I have had this debate for years about Andy..I guess it really boils down to I just wasn’t ever a fan.. I felt his tennis patterns were so predictable and the numerous conversations I had with ex tour hitting partners and coaches on the USTA..they all stated his ball striking was just at the NCAA level..I wasn’t going by his h2h only vs Roger but really what I have witnesssed first hand..If Andy era would’ve started when Novak’s or Murray’s, I doubt Roddick would’ve been a top ten player..He would’ve been at the same level as JoWillieTs or Berdych.

You want me to be NICE, huh..Deliver my verbiage in spoons of sugar instead of bad medicine, huh..you want me to say, if Roger h2h was so one sided maybe we should question Roger’s pre Rafa and the birth month twins (Novak and Andy) arrival.. Is that what you want?

 

[Federberg]

Lol! I was waiting for something like that to add a bit of credibility to your statement. Experts said so. Ok... I highly doubt anyone of those so called expats would be fit to string his racquets. It doesn't matter whether you're a fan. It's completely irrelevant. I'm not a fan of Rafa, but I would be embarrassed to say the guy can't. play the game. It's absurd
