Roger Federer – Andy Roddick quarterfinal match at the US Open 2007 was one of the highest quality tennis matches I’ve seen lately.

It reminded me of the famous Agassi – Sampras quarterfinal match in 2000 when all 4 sets went to tie-break and Sampras won 3-1.

Andy had the right tactic to play Roger – attack the attacker.

Roger is at his best when he controls the game, makes you run, makes you hit low sliced balls and forces you to make impossible passing shots.

Roger Federer won his third round US Open 2007 match against John Isner with a 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 score.

He was having trouble with Isner’s serve who served 9 aces in the first set, had a 72% of the first serve and won 79% of points when the first serve went in.

But something remarkably happened in the second and third set: Federer played 105 points without an unforced error!

Looking to buy US Open tennis tickets?

Tennis tickets for US Open are already on sale and here are some tips and thoughts before you buy them:

1. In most cases, if you buy tennis tickets for multiple days, you’ll get a discount.

2. Lower seats give you a much better view but they cost more.

3. Try and get a seat behind the player so that you will clearly see the pattern of play.

If you have a seat on the side of the court you constantly need to turn your head to see the ball and you miss a lot on how the players actually hit the ball and where.

4. US Open tennis tickets will become more and more expensive as the date of the tournament comes closer. US Open starts on 27th of August and ends on 9th of September.

5. Good days to watch are quarterfinals where you get to see many top players battling in exciting matches.

If they got to the quarterfinals they had to be in form and there is usually not so much pressure as in the semifinal so the level of play can be higher.

6. The best day to watch is the Super Saturday where you get to see men’s semifinals and women’s final. But be ready to stay on court for at least 5 hours.

Oh yes, where to buy the tickets for this year’s US Open?
