And Roddick has positive H2H over Djokovic. H2H are really of little importance especially if the matches are happening before or past your peak.

Right now of course it's Tipsarevic but overall? Only an idiot "weak era" propagandist would claim Tipsarevic is better than Roddick.

Tipsarevic at the moment is the better player just like I've stated in the other thread. He's got a decent forehand and backhand. His return of serve was good enough to help him go the distance against tough opponents. He's not afraid of going for big winners against big opponents. He's better than Roddick at the moment. Roddick's serve is crumbling, weak backhand again, forehand is mediocre, clearly at this point in time, Tipsarevic is the better player and the ranking doesn't lie. If I were a top 8 player, I'd rather face Roddick, than Tipsarevic, since Tipsy's game is more dangerous since he's got more weapons in the bag.

Affirmative.

Better at what? Playing tennis or fixing?

Don't try to weasel out of it now. You were comparing Tipsarevic to '06 Roddick and according to you:

Tipsarevic might be an inconsistent player, but he still has more overall quality than Roddick does. The only thing Roddick has over him is one lucky slam.

Regardless. O6 Roddick still had weaknesses. Overall as a threat, Tipsarevic is still a bigger threat to most players. Roddick unfortunately, is not. Which reflects where he is in the rankings.

He pushed Federer to 5 sets at the Australian Open in his first shot while someone like Roddick needed many years to push Federer to 5 sets. On top of that Tipsarevic has better overall technique in all their years.

Roddick's return of serve, backhand, have been shitty for almost a decade now. His forehand has also been crap for the last several years. Tipsarevic has weaknesses as well, but not as rudimentary as the ones Roddick has and far few in number.

Early campaigning for the 2012 ACC, nice stuff.

[tripwires]

Peak Roddick >>> Peak Tipsarevic and I don't think it's even close. The biggest thing that Roddick has over Tips is that he's not afraid to actually win a tournament.

[rickcastle]

LOL sure a guy who never made it past GS quarterfinals and has 2 career titles more of a threat than 5x GS finalist with 30 career titles at his peak. Classic. You can't make this stuff up

[tennishero]

usa/roddick briggade out in force tonight

[RafaNadal2012!!!]

Current: Tipsy

Career: Roddick by far

[MIMIC]

If Tipsarevic wins the poll, will rickcastle put shiaben on his ignore list?

[Snowwy]

Right now, I would say Tipseravic by a slim margin, but in their careers, Roddick and its not even at all close.

Great post.. You actually prove the point I've been saying for years.. Arguably, Tipsy may be more of a threat then what was Fed's main rival for about 4 years

Roddick is pretty much NO threat to the top.. Tipsarevic seems more of one on his day.. He pushed Fed to 5 at the AO, pushed Nole hard this year as well at the USO. Roddick hasn't really done much of pushing the top guys (besides pushing himself) in a very long time.

Tipsy I always felt was more dangerous.. I actually think hes more talented and deadly then Roddick is.


Listen to reason Fards... Please.. Roddick is no threat and never really has been.

Yes, the guy with 2 career titles and a couple QF appearances in slams was always more dangerous and better than a guy with 30 titles, a former world number one with a slam and 4 other finals appearances.

Great stuff.
