10 Ways to Beat Roger Federer by flamyshine (PG)

I should point out that [livejournal.com profile] tennisslash, the main LJ for this fandom, is no longer an open membership site.  However, older stories on the site are accessible without membership.  So, no, the site isn't dead - if you're interested in newer stuff you'll need to enroll but those recced on [livejournal.com profile] crack_van will have at least one accessible-to-all version.

Fandom: MEN'S PROFESSIONAL TENNIS RPS
Pairing: Andy Roddick/Novak Djokovic
Length: ~3500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] flamyshine

Why this must be read: Part of what fueled so much fic involving Andy and Roger over the years is that, no matter what Andy does, Roger will always come out on top (take that however you want). Even though the listed pairing isn't Andy/Roger, I think of this fic in terms of the level of crazy Roger can bring out in Andy (keep in mind this was written in 2008).  The visual the author creates of Andy on the court just refuses to go away.
