Andy Roddick's HUGE 140mph serve! 💥 

Ya Fed’s return game was super underrated, especially his backhand side

Federer has had so many good returns it's hard to even pick!

Underrated mention: his return winner down match point vs Nadal. 08 Wimbledon final, down 8-7 40-30 in the final set

Impressive control but the serve was all power, no placement or movement. Good returners would get this back consistently.

​@Psyaii Good returners would get this back constantly?!?!?? What??? 140mph...no. No they won't. That's not to say they won't catch a piece of it but it's going sailing 9/10 trying this, they won't get the angle and push right

Second or first serve. My prediction 0-40 second serve fk you.

Right? Everyone would be 20 ft behind the line now.

He seemed to think there was no chance Roger could get a deep return in. Was it his first time playing him? 😅

It wasnt that precise thats why roger was a better server

Been playing for 16 years and I’d return the serve 1/20 lol

But u ain't Roger

@@Manushyan_123 FACTS!! 😅😅

You have not played tennis at a high level. You can’t practice returning 140mph serves because so few in the world are capable of it and that speed pushes past even some top players ability to react in time if they are not standing at the back wall to create more time.

Butbu ain't troubling the classs of Fed with that

Holy Jesus! Andy Roddick being supersonic!, I would have loved being there watching him serve!

Damn watched a few pros play but never heard that sound. Crazy

The faster you serve, the less time you have to prepare for the return

Roger returned it from the baseline instead of miles away like Med or Nadal, which gave the server less time to compose himself after serve. I think he invented the sneak attack, taking serve balls early inside the baseline.

I think he readied himself as well as you can reasonably expect. The return just went to the baseline and that is hard to handle especially off the serve when your momentum carries you in.

He was, just that, if you serve 140mph even if someone returns it, you assume it'll be popped back slow, but Roger hit the line

handcuff is when ball comes at your hip or chest awkward... that return was at his shoestrings so not a handcuff. Roddick shoulda did a return forward tweener haha

@@drbookie2169 And he still would've lost the point.

You wouldn't return 140 if it hit the sweet spot of your racket. 140 is crazy. Just get it in and 99% of people will barely see it let alone return it. Roger was just special.

@@rolandharris2706 and who’s his opponent ? Lol. Why does it matter that this serve would work on everyone in the stands. Federer is on the court

@jj read carefully. The point isnt that a casual couldn't handle 140. Its that 140 doesn't need placement. Only Roger could make you think "oh hmm, if only he placed it better" lol

Roddick always relied on his 1st serves, which worked against 95% of the players. But when against Roger, it's pretty much nothing.

@@Onmysheet exactly. Roger prevented him from winning multiple majors. No one else could withstand that serve.

It’s luck

@@binglee2228not it’s not

That serve was 3 feet left of center. Clobbered serve but horrible placement.

It makes me wonder how hard she could hit it if she wasn’t so concerned about placement. She hit a 129 on the line a couple times. She might be able to get into the mid 130’s if she was just putting the ball in

Huh? The speed was great, but it was more or less a body serve. He wasn’t trying to ace Federer

Returners sit way back but roger was on the line and used the pace to his advantage. Handcuffed to your greatest weapon.

He's ranked 104 in return of serve, so he's well below the other top players.

2007 I believe

US Open 2007 QF

@@MistahhMingus thank you

@@unowen7591 thank you

What do you mean by “today’s standards”? Miles and hours haven’t changed over the years….

as courts were generally faster back then, it would retain more of its speed after the bounce. Returning serve has probably become easier over the years

It was on the line
