The former World No. 1 attributes his poor results against the Swiss to nothing more than their natural differences in playstyle, which made their match-up particularly hard for him.

Overall, Federer has an unbelievable 21-3 lead in the head-to-head against Roddick (8-0 in Grand Slams). Speaking in a recent interview with the New York Post, the American gave his thoughts on why that was the case, lamenting how all his natural strengths were counteracted by the 20-time Grand Slam champion's own innate abilities.

https://t.co/T2mObg6lVm The former US Open champion remarked that it was, in a way, similar to the match-up between Federer and Nadal, which was particularly hard on the Swiss because of Nadal's left-handedness and topspin. Just like how the Mallorcan can consistently push the Swiss out of his comfort zone, Federer's style of play had the same effect on Roddick. "It was just a rough matchup," Roddick said.

And similarly to Roger [Federer] and Rafa, that matchup is more difficult on Roger because of the lefty and the spins. Roger forced me out of my comfort zone consistently." The 39-year-old touched on one of those Slam finals losses -- at the 2006 US Open. Despite the end result, Roddick was happy with his performance during the tournament, since it came just after he had started working with Jimmy Connors.

"I had played pretty bad throughout that year except I kinda caught a little bit of form in the tournament in Cincinnati which is the biggest lead-in tournament and won that, and it kinda turned my entire year around." The American had plenty of praise for Connors, especially for the valuable advice he gave him on how to use the New York crowd to his advantage. In fact, Roddick is of the opinion that no other player can compare to Connors when it comes to swaying the crowd's energy to throw off their opponents. "I was really happy and relieved to play well there, obviously lost to Roger [Federer] in the final," Roddick said.

"But I really enjoyed working with Jimmy and getting his advice on how to use the New York crowd. I don’t know that there was anyone ever better at that than him." That s the match that I get asked most about the only thing that I would really change is the result and winning two more points one of five times - Andy Roddick on his 2009 Wimbledon final against Roger Federer Andy Roddick lost to Roger Federer in an incredible five-setter at the 2009 Wimbledon final The most popular clash involving Roger Federer and Andy Roddick came at the 2009 Wimbledon final without a doubt, where the Swiss prevailed in an extraordinary five-setter that lasted well over four hours.
