  1. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic really have nothing to do with how he's playing. I mean he hasn't even gotten there at some points in tournaments to even compete against them. He's only met Nadal twice this year. As mentioned, it's a mental game with him. You can have all the weapons and just not be there on the court.


  2. No he is good player

    He could beat Federer

    Their is one problem

    He has a mental issue with self confidence

    Once he starts losing, he starts losing and he cant get back.  He starts playing like c**p after a while.  He has the tools, not the psychological instinct.

  3. He desperately needs a breakthrough, doesn't he?   Maybe if we label him, 'The Best Player never to win a Major'... perhaps that would motivate him.

  4. i don't think so.... he's main problem is roger federer playing in the same era.

  5. To say that Roddick and Blake only suck because better players are out there is kind of ridiculous.  Of course they would be better in the standings if Federer and Nadal didn't exist, but that's true of anything where one person (or two) are leagues better than anyone else.  That doesn't really explain why Roddick and Blake continually lose to lower ranked players.  In other words, Federer and Nadal aren't keeping them down so much as their incessant choking at key moments in a match undermine their success.

  6. Bro James Blake and Andy Roddick both "suck" only because people like Federer, Nadal and Djokovic exist.  I'm pretty sure they've both reached their ceilings but that doesn't mean they're underachievers.  You can't just label someone that because they aren't the best out there.  Not everyone can be the best...

  7. he dosn't have the consistency or game variety to punish the other top players.. sorry but he will always be a 4th round calibre player for now..

  8. i think that andy roddick is amazing i like him but i think blake is good he just needs to focus i mean he has tough competition so no wonder why he is loseing he has to play against federer nadal Djockovitch.
