Talk:Federer–Roddick rivalry

Notability

How is this even an encyclopedia article? It is filled with commentary, POV, and original research. This needs a major re-write ASAP. TheLou75 (talk) 11:32, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think this rivarly is very significant to deserve a page of its own. Delete? Nadesai (talk) 03:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd support a delete too. This isn't a rivalry in any sense of the word. Jesse0986 (talk) 00:25, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, so the commentary, POV, and other problems have been mostly fixed. However, this is not a rivalry...I also support a delete. TheLou75 (talk) 01:53, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Far too many of the "sources" used in this article are Wikipedia pages. Wikipedia is not a valid source WP:Circular Little Professor (talk) 18:05, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion, this matchup is too lopsided to be considered a rivalry. The first sentence even admits this much. Fixer23 (talk) 07:21, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Rivalry?? Roger thought he was knocking up with a ball boy for most of those matches. A rivalry needs two rivals. Delete.TheMathemagician (talk) 12:49, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Agreed, 21–3 doesn't seem like much of a rivalry. --Jameboy (talk) 20:38, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Marriages

Not that this makes the article any more significant, but what a strange coincidence that these guys got married 8 days apart from each other! Shnizzedy (talk) 02:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Citation needed

There's a "citation needed" in the "2009 Wimbledon Final" section and I have a source in a interview of Mats Wilander, but it's taken by a Romanian journalist (Luminița Paul) and it's published in Romanian language (in the sports newspaper Gazeta Sporturilor). Mats is asked which was the most beautiful match of the decade and he says there are two of them: Federer-Nadal at Wimbledon 2008 and Federer-Roddick at Wimbledon 2009.

"When it comes to just tennis, I believe that last year's final was a disputed match and thanks God the score was 16-14 in the decisive set, thus becoming a classic. If Federer had won by 6-2 in the decisive set, many people wouldn't have remembered that match. I watched it carefully and, in terms of tennis, I think it was the best match I have ever seen. A great match on a difficult tennis court."

("Cînd vine vorba însă pur şi simplu despre tenis, cred că finala Federer-Roddick de anul trecut a fost un meci în care bătălia s-a purtat mai bine şi mulţumesc lui Dumnezeu că a fost 16-14 în decisiv pentru că astfel a devenit un clasic. Dacă Federer ar fi cîştigat 6-2 în decisiv, multă lume nu ar fi ţinut minte acest meci. Eu l-am urmărit însă cu atenţie şi, în termeni de tenis, de joc, cred că este cel mai bun meci pe care l-am văzut vreodată. Un meci mare pe o suprafaţă dificilă."
