Roddick Finally Beats Federer

2003. That's the last time Andy Roddick managed to beat his great rival Roger Federer before his relatively comprehensive triumph in the Sony Ericson Open. And despite an 11 game losing run against the world no. 1 there were no wild celebrations, but simply a polite handshake at the net. It was almost as if Roddick was overcome with suprise.

“I came in knowing that nobody has beaten me 12 times in a row,” Roddick told the delighted capacity crowd afterward. “So I had that on my side.” “I figure I was due,” Roddick said. “He hadn’t missed a ball in a crucial moment for about six years against me. I figured the law of statistics had to come my way eventually.”
