My Hero & My Idol to meet for 1st time!!!!
BASEL, Switzerland (AP)—My Idol-Roger Federer will face my Hero-Andy Roddick for the first time since their epic 2009 Wimbledon final after both advanced to the semifinals of the Swiss Indoors.
The top-seeded Swiss and No. 4 Roddick set up the rematch by sweeping through their quarterfinals in straight sets on Friday.
Federer eased past Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-2 in an hour and the American rode his big serve in a 6-4, 6-4 victory against Argentina’s David Nalbandian.
More than 16 months after a classic, 4-hour, 16-minute encounter ended with Federer taking the fifth set 16-14, Roddick pretended to have forgotten all about it.
“What final?” he deadpanned to reporters, before acknowledging he relished the fresh challenge.
“I always look forward to playing (Roger),” said Roddick, who hit 11 aces in his win. “You want to play the best if you are an athlete and a competitor. You want to get out there and give it a go.”
Federer said his 19-2 career record against Roddick was not a fair reflection of their rivalry.
“He is much better than the head-to-head record shows. We’ve had a lot of close matches,” Federer said.
