What is true is that when Federer plays Roddick, he is able to beat him
almost
every single time, every player has his or her day, but Federer at the
moment
is a superior player than Roddick, you just don't beat another player 4 out
of
5 time purely because the other guy is playing 70% of his best or not
playing
his best, Roddick is a rabbit to Federer at the moment, Federer has worked
out the weakness in Roddick's game.

Did I say he is going to flop, obviously I did not, Roddick has a great
future in
tennis.  But your instinct regarding Federer is totally biased.
