As well as A-Rod is playing, his game doesn't match up well with Federer's at all. Australian Open 2007 is a prime example of this when Federer destroyed him.
One of his biggest weapons is his serve and against someone who can return as well as Roger, it no longer becomes that. |

| For sure. Roger in 4 sets is my prediction. |

| 6-3 6-2 6-4 Federer if Roddick continues to not be aggressive with his groundstrokes. |

No sympathy for Djokovic from Roger, that's for sure.
| quote: | | MELBOURNE, Australia -- Novak Djokovic abruptly surrendered his Australian Open title on Tuesday when he wilted in the Melbourne heat. But sympathy was in short supply from his fellow players -- particularly Roger Federer. Djokovic, the No. 3 seed, threw in the towel midway through the fourth set of his quarterfinal with Andy Roddick, trailing 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-2, 2-1. But in pointed comments, Federer, the No. 2 seed, noted that it wasn't the first time Djokovic has withdrawn midway through a match in a Grand Slam. "He's not a guy who's never given up before ... it's disappointing," said Federer, who will face Roddick in the semifinals. "I've only done it once in my career ... Andy totally deserved to win that match." "I'm almost in favor of saying, you know what, if you're not fit enough, just get out of here," Federer added. "If Novak were up two sets to love I don't think he would have retired 4-0 down in the fourth. Thanks to Andy that he retired in the end. Andy pushed him to the limits. Hats off to Andy." |

| I don't like Joke-vich. Andy send him packing... priceless. Let's just say payback for the US Open and his comments after wards. |

| Not much to like (Jokeich), seeing he's a quitter which is a disrespect both to his opponent and to the people who paid to see the match. Add to that his poor sportsmanship of all those interruptions in play. It has happen many times before so no sympathy. |
