Federer Leads Head to Head 18-2
Bookie Odds: Federer 1/8, Roddick 8/1
Roddick has beaten Roger Federer twice in his career out of 20 meetings. The first time he beat him was in 2003 at the Montreal Masters. The second time was last year in Miami when Roger Federer was recovering from Mononucleosis. Other than that Federer has completely owned Roddick, and with good reason Federer can handle Roddick's serve.
In order to win this match Roddick will either need to return better than he ever has in his life, or serve incredibly and manage to win tiebreakers. His other chance is Federer will get nervous as he tries to seal his legacy as the greatest player of all time with 15 Grand Slam titles. I sincerely doubt that will happen, Federer has appeared far from nervous this entire championships.
I just don't see anyway Roddick can win this match. He can make it competitive but he can't win, and I don't think Roddick even expects to win. Andy Roddick cried tears of joy after winning his semifinal, showing that he didn't even expect to win that match. Roddick has already achieved what he wants to achieve, now it is Federer's turn to achieve his destiny.
Federer in 4 sets.
