Has any one competitor changed anothers legacy more than Fed against Roddick?

As it stands, Roddick only has 1 major, and is not in the talks of truly great American tennis players like Connors and Mac
However, Roddick was the clear number 2, and suffered the following losses to the games all time GOAT in grand slams :
Australian- Semi loss, semmi-loss
Wimby- Semis loss, Finals loss, finals loss, finals loss
Us open- Finals loss, quarter final loss
So conservatively, without Fed, Roddick would be looking at this for a career:
3 wimby titles
2 Us open titles
1 Australian title
That would have in as an all time great. That is tough to be born with the GOAT like that

Mickelson without Tiger would probably have a few more majors.

quote:Not the same. Nadal is still considered top 5 minimum all time great. So his legacy was not as affected as Roddicks

Bird would be Jordan without Magic

Roddick is married to Brooklyn Decker.
He wins.
He wins.

Fed could have realistically won like 4-5 French in a row and would be considered one of the GOAT clay court players

Les is a good one.

Andy will be a 1 major forgotten player, and he was one sperm away from being an american tennis legend. That stings worse
