Question

Can andy roddick beat nadal?

Answer 1

NOOOO nadal, djokovic and federer are in a totally different level than anyone else

Answer 2

roddick wont meet nadal

because he cant reach upto finals and semi finals

roddick's limit is till 3rd round

Answer 3

Best chance would be at the US open!

No chance on Grass or clay, Nadal's all round game is far superior! Roddick struggles against good returners of the ball! Roddicks main weapon is his serve and if Nadal can handle the serve then he will win!

Answer 4

Definitely not on clay. Right now, there's no one that can really push Nadal on clay.

Maybe on grass. Roddick's done well on grass before and he's got a killer serve. However, as the last few Wimbledon's have proved, Nadal's turned into an amazing grass player. It would be hard for most to win against Nadal on this surface, I think.

However, when it comes to Hard Courts. Well, Rafa's still trying to find his game on that surface. So I'd give Roddick a hard court win. At least for now. Give Rafa another year or two and he could end up being a scary player to face on hard courts as well.

Answer 5

Nah. Andy is too flighty and depends on his big serves to get him through the matches. As you can see, it has not worked out too well for him, lately.

Answer 6

I think beating Nadal in straight sets in Dubai kinda shows that Roddick can beat Nadal. On any given day I would definitely put my money on Nadal.

Answer 7

Can? Sure of course he can. Anyone with a 140 serve can beat anyone.

Will? Now that is the question and we will see in the US Open whether Roddick can win on the hard court. I doubt it though. Nadal is on a roll now.

Answer 8

No, Nadal is playing better then ever after winning wimbledon and is way more fit.

Answer 9

Well in tennis nobody is indestructible. If Roddick form improves he has a very good chance to defeat nadal. But for now, Nadal is in great form, so he will have to really really really work hard to get his tennis to that standard. Anything is possible!

Answer 10

yes

but in hard court...

Answer 11

Simple answer: anyone can beat anyone.

He could under the right circumstances though. Maybe not now, Rafa is at the top of his game and Roddick is still recovering from the shoulder injury.
