Roddick, did he lose rather than Federer win? |
|
What a cracking game of tennis, not much in it at the end.
It was a truly momentous climax to the 2009 Championships as the 27-year-old Swiss became the most successful man in the sport. Sampras, previous holder of that title, had been an unannounced surprise visitor to Wimbledon – where he has not been seen since 2002. A brilliant forehand down the line forced Federer to project a forehand wide and it was Roddick who went a set in front after 39 minutes. This was precisely the start Roddick needed to prove that he was a changed man from the opponent so frequently dominated by Federer in the past. Impressively aggressive and quick to close in on the net whenever the chance arose, he continued to stretch Federer in the second set with scorching serves of speeds beyond 135mph and a steadiness which was producing 80% of first serves on target. So what happened? Towards the closing stages of the match Roddick started to lose his composure. He let little things get under his skin. He lost his calm calculated approach and his positive mental attitude and along with these, the game. |
