Description
On this edition of Monday Match Analysis Classics, I bring on Ben Rothenberg a freelance tennis writer for the New York Times and co-host of the No Challenges Remaining podcast, to discuss the 2009 Wimbledon final between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. Federer was fresh off his first French Open title, looking to pass Pete Sampras in the all-time won with his 15th. Andy Roddick had won the US Open in 2003, but the Wimbledon title eluded him, losing to Federer in the 2004 and 2005 finals. Ben and I also discuss Novak Djokovic’s up and down week. Plus, a tennis book recommendation for your quarantine.
