On Tennis Channel, Andy Roddick talked about what Roger Federer would do on his second serve. He said,
“Against Roger, I would try to run around his second serve. And he would pull the string and do a slice cut serve. I guess I was quarter of a second early and for 12 years he just kept doing this to me. He would keep his eyes on me for a longer time than most players to see where I was moving.”

I guess Roger Federer could not use the trick forever but he did make good use of it. He leads Andy Roddick in their head-to-head 21-3 so I think the trick he used worked out very well. And I am sure Roddick will hate himself for not figuring it out earlier as he could have won more matches against Roger.
While Roger Federer did use a trick here, he doesn’t need one most of the time. He wins his matches by the amazing skill that he uses to play a wide variety of shots that hurt his opponent. And he will keep winning matches like this in the future once the ATP tour returns from its suspension.
