Roddick won the 2003 U.S. Open, but he is one of the many unfortunate souls who chose to play tennis for a living and happened to have been born around the same time as Federer: Roddick will turn 27 in August, a few weeks after Federer turns 28.
Roddick is 2-18 against Federer over their careers. That includes 0-7 at Grand Slam tournaments, 0-3 at Wimbledon, with losses to Federer in the 2003 semifinals and 2004 and 2005 finals at the All England Club. Roddick also lost to Federer in the 2006 U.S. Open title match.
