Really, I think it's pretty amazing that Roddick ever won a major. He's just not that good. People(and himself) expect too much for the talent that guy has(minimal.) When a real athlete plays this guy, it's actually pretty easy for them to routinely get the better of him by just being quicker to move. Also(other than in the serves,) he does not hit the ball hard enough to beat quicker people. Can't compare the speed of his ground strokes to Tsonga's(who's major problem is always physical conditioning.) Roddick's strengths are his serve, and his physical conditioning. That is not good enough to get him to another major win(he may never get another.) Verdasco is on the Gil Reyes' juice. Hopefully, RAFA can get by him, and we'll get another Rafa-Federer war.
