Roger Federer and Andy Roddick will take on each other at the Masters Series Madrid quarters, Friday, May 15th. This is the 20th time in their careers that these two have faced each other, but they have never played each other on clay. Why? It’s most likely due to the fact that Roddick hasn’t been able to advance on the clay surface.
It’s obvious that Federer has the edge over Roddick, but Federer has definitely been struggling in the 2009 season. The Swiss player would really like to grab a hold of his first title of the year. Roddick does have his 2008 win over Federer at the Masters Series Miami to give him the confidence he needs on Friday. He knows he has what it takes to beat Federer and that is huge! What does Roddick have to do on Friday? He needs to serve well, really well.
Who do you think will take this one?
