What was Roger Federer and Andy Roddick’s head-to-head record?

Federer and Roddick played one another 24 times over the course of 11 years.

Roddick managed to clinch victory on just three occasions, as he struggled to consistently cause the eight-time Wimbledon champion problems.

Two of his victories came at the Miami Open in 2008 and their final meeting in 2012 in front of his home fans, while Roddick’s other win over Federer came at the Canadian Open in 2003.

Perhaps their greatest match came in the 2009 Wimbledon final, which Federer won 16-14 in the final set to win his sixth title at SW19 and deny Roddick his first.

In fact, prior to the 2009 final, Federer defeated Roddick for three successive years at Wimbledon, first in the 2003 semi-finals before claiming wins in the 2004 and 2005 finals.
