"Roddick can challenge him as well if he serves big consistently for the entire match. If he does that, then he is tough to break even for a guy like Federer"
- Richard Krajicek
About this Quote
In this quote, previous tennis player Richard Krajicek is discussing the capacity for Andy Roddick to challenge Roger Federer in a match. Krajicek thinks that if Roddick is able to regularly serve with power throughout the whole match, he will be a formidable opponent for even somebody as competent as Federer. This is due to the fact that a strong serve can make it hard for an opponent to break their serve and gain points. Krajicek acknowledges that Federer is a highly competent player, but recommends that Roddick's consistent serving could give him an advantage and make it hard for Federer to get a benefit.
"One has children in the expectation of dying before them. In fact, you want to make damn sure you die before them, just as you plant a tree or build a house knowing, hoping that it will outlive you. That's how the human species has done as well as it has"
