If they didn't start slowing the Wimbledon grass in 2002?

Question

Could Roddick have won a couple Wimbledons by now?

Answer 1

Im not sure. Id love to see Roddick win Wimbledon at one point and hey who knows it could happen.

Answer 2

i think he could have defintley one at least one.

For one his serve would be unstopable and unbreakable. As for federer he probably would still have a couple, and no doubt nadal wouldnt have any.

Answer 3

In my opinion I think Roddick would have at least one Wimbledon by now. It would've been tougher for guys to bunt his serve back or break him on the faster grass which would put a lot a pressure on their own serve. Also he had an incredible tie-break record in those days.

It's impossible to know for sure but he played Federer tough at the '04 Wimbledon so the faster surface might've helped there. With his serve it definitely wouldn't hurt.

Answer 4

it's possible, but probably not.  if he would have kept developing his serve and volley then i think he would've had a better chance.

Answer 5

Probably not, don't forget that Fed also loves faster surfaces.

And Fed seems to be able to neutralize Roddick's serve, which is the weapon Roddick relies on.

On the other hand Nadal probably wouldnt have won if the surface was still fast.

Answer 6

they started slowing down the wimbledon grass in 2006.. thats from what i remeber.. before then.. not really.. it was still pretty quick

i believe roddick could have won wimbledon bewteen 2002 - 2004.. he had his best chance in that era.. but he fell short and could not maximize his ablilities..
