Tie-break was key - Roddick

Andy Roddick admitted wasting four set points in the second set affected his play as he lost to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final.

The 26-year-old held a 6-2 lead in the second-set tie-break on Sunday but let the Swiss star back into the match by wasting a glorious chance to take the set with a missed backhand volley.
Federer did not need a second invitation and raced to a two sets to one lead before losing the fourth to set up a decider. The five time champion then took his tally to six after a marathon final set which gave the Swiss a 5-7, 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 16-14 victory at SW19.
Roddick has now lost in three Wimbledon finals - all of them to the record-breaking new world number one - and he confessed that 2009's was "the worse" of the three.
The popular American battled throughout the gruelling match but stressed that the second-set tie-break had weighed heavily on his mind.
"There's no way it doesn't cross your mind," he said. "We're humans we're not cyborgs, but at that point there's two options - you lay down or you keep going. The second option sounded better to me."
And the 2003 US Open winner was full of praise for the way Federer remained focused despite being under pressure from the Roddick serve for most of the match.
"He was having trouble picking my serve today, for the first time ever, he just stayed the course and you didn't even get a sense that he was even really frustrated by it," he added.
"He just stayed the course and toughed it out. He gets a lot of credit for a lot of things but not a lot of the time it's how many matches he really digs deep and toughs it out.
"He doesn't get a lot of credit for that because it looks easy to him a lot of the time, but he definitely stuck in there today."
