He wasn't a special player but Todd Martin isn't pushing Federer to the extent Roddick did at the 2009 Wimbledon final (one of the best matches ever played).

Yeah… I was a bit hyperbolic in my comparison above, but point was to highlight that Roddick never challenged Federer’s dominance even though American expectations were sky-high for Roddick to succeed Sampras. Similarly, TM never challenged Sampras.

Federer won 20 slam titles. Roddick 1. Todd Martin 0.
