Roger Federer is on his way to becoming the greatest tennis player in history. That is the view of Andy Roddick, as well as many other tennis experts, after being on the wrong side of a Swiss demolition act in the Wimbledon men's singles final for the second time in a row.
"If he keeps up this level I don't see too many people in history who would beat him," insisted Roddick as he came to terms today with competing in an era which Federer appears capable of dominating for the next decade.
Federer strolled elegantly to his 6-2 7-6 6-4 victory and joined an elite club of hat-trick champions which includes Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras. At 23, Federer could even eclipse the seven-title Wimbledon haul of Sampras.
Roddick added: "I'm not going to beat myself up about getting to the final and doing better than 126 other guys and losing to a guy that everybody is debating whether he's the best of all-time or not."
