Roddick seemed gracious enough in defeat, acknowledging that Federer deserves all he gets etc.

However, at one point I did sense a touch of something or another when after the match during the trophy presentation interviews that Federer was trying to engage Roddick in some empathy by saying that he had been there the previous year with regards to the 5 set heartbreak of losing and that he knew how Roddick felt.

You could hear Roddick in the background saying 'but you've won it 5 times man' a couple of times as if to suggest Federer couldn't possibly know how Roddick was feeling. Federer has said that he's been there before and tries to be humble but you can tell from last years final that Wimbledon is the big one for him, the one that means the most.
I could so understand how bad Roddick had to feel. To only lose your service game only once in a 5 set match is unreal.
