It was certainly an exciting game, but I dont think the standard was that great. Certainly great serving from both men, esp Roddick.
But at the end of the day Roddick played one of the games of his life, and Federer never quite got into top gear, and it wasnt quite enough. Thats the reason Federer is the best ever. You have to feel for Roddick - if he had taken the second set there might well have been no way back for Roger.
But thats the mark of the greatest champions in any sport, finding a way to win when you arent quite at your best.
