In my estimation, Sampras sure have more guns in his game than Roddick and
he has
weakness but rest of his game really cover it for him, Roddick unfortunate
does not
have enough tactical option in his game to cover up for his weakness that is
his
return of serve and his backhand , unlike Roddick Federer and Sampras can
play from
all part of the court, Roddick's main forte is from back of the court
although he can
dominate a player with his serve but he can't dominate them once he gets it
into a
rally.

I would be surprise if he does not win a few slams, given the fact he is
most talented
player on tour, more talented than Roddick and Fererro, sure he is not
mentally strong
at the moment, but so is Roddick and Fererro.

How many winners did you pick this year, in men's tennis you picked Roddick
to win
all the slams, that is not picking winners.  If Federer start winning slams
are you going
to admit your inadequate knowledge of game..
