Federer came along at worst time for Roddick

Andy Roddick is only 26 years old but at times, between uttering some of the best wisecracks and serves on tour, the years and the psychic scars are starting to add up.

Lots of other players besides Federer have been beating Roddick since 2003. Roddick ranked No. 2 in 2004, No. 3 in 2005 and No. 6 in both 2006 and 2007. He will likely rank outside of the top 5 again this year. What has done Roddick in are the several major flaws in his game, not merely the arrival of Federer's greatness. Whether the blame should go to Roddick or his various coaches or all of them is the question.

Roddick is a good player, but lets face the facts here:
- He is a gifted player
- However he is lazy and does not work half as hard as Nadal or the others
- He is mostly a one-stroke genius! When his serve is on, he wins, when is serve is off he has no other weapons.

I don't think Andy is in the same clas as Nadal or Federer. Neither is Djokovic - Not yet at least.
