Prediction:
The two former World No. 1 players have met twenty two times, with Federer holding a remarkable 19-3 record over Roddick.
Their last meeting came in the Madrid Masters quarter-finals earlier this year, where Federer was the victor with a 7-5 6-7(5) 6-1 scoreline. Furthermore, the Swiss Maestro has won their last three meetings, and has yet to lose a single match to Roddick on grass in all of their meetings.
Federeer has been in typical outstanding form as he approaches a record fifteen Grand Slam titles, after equalling Pete Sampras's fourteen majors at Roland Garros last month. The five-time Wimbledon winner has looked almost entirely untroubled all tournament long, and Roddick will have to rely on his big serve and powerful groundstrokes to stand any chance of troubling Federer at his current level.
Probably Roddick's best chance of taking something from the match is to force the issue by taking the sets to a tie-breaker and hoping that Federer slips up, at least momentarily, but even if the Fed were to drop a set this way, which in itself even looks unlikely, his overall consistency and brilliance should prove too much against the impressive Roddick.
It looks to be more history in the making for the supremely talented Roger Federer, as he confirms his status as the greatest and most successful tennis player of all time.
