In the history of Men's tennis I don't think there has ever been a more one sided head-to-head than the Roger Federer/Andy Roddick one. The closest that I know of was Rod Laver vs Roy Emerson: 14-1 and Bjorn Borg vs Vitas Gerulitas: 16-0. Roddick is now 2-17 vs Federer and there will most likely be even more victories for Fed in the future.
Whenever these two played, Federer always had an answer for Roddick's shots. Federer, was an expert at returning Roddicks huge serve and once the point began, Federer was able to move Roddick around the court and place the ball in tough places for him to get to.
Federer has recently lost some of his consistency and I think that's the main reason, Roddick, was able to beat him last year in Miami. With Federer's consistency dropping, Roddick may have some opportunities in the future to win their matches. However, I would still favor the former world #1 to win their most important meetings.
