here are began his twenty twelve u_s_ open campaign defeating two hundred and
eighty ninth ranked ryan williams in straight sets now
prior to his next match as a matter of fact the one day
uh... prior to his next match
he walked into the press room
for the usual and it was not the regular upbeat andy roddick that we've always
seen
in these press conferences he announced that he will be retiring at the and
obvious u_s_ open competition now he went on
to defeats bernard told mentioned that he'd be body of phony
uh... fomented the reset spinning in four sets
then he met the seventh rates
one martindale protrude
who stands at roughly six five and a half
six six you want to say
uh... from argentina it was a battle for out in which an ear out at one of the
first set seven six in a tie-breaker albeit
panetta suspended because of rain and it was discontinued until eighteen hours
later
and from there it was all
dole poet wrote throughout
dubbo strobe would go on to win seven six six-two
six four there were plenty of drop shots against an erotic any completely outward
the twenty second rate american
his forehand veronica which was long on the last point and went wide
was a shot that was certainly in his repertoire throughout his entire career
along with that powerful serve that he possessed
which sometimes would reach the one-hundred and fifties
uh... one hundred and fifty miles miles per hour
roddick at a chance in the fourth set window poster a double faulted on break
holy saints
roddick simply did not take advantage so when that last forehand shot what wide
that's what it really sink in this was the last that we would see
of andy roddick and his professional tennis career it was very very emotional
time burn all the handed in the mike and said you know the mic is yours
and he was just speechless
at center court and arthur ashe stadium here is what he was quoted as saying
since i was a kid i've been coming to this tournament i felt lucky justice it
were all of you are sitting today to watch this game defeated champions that
have come and gone i'd love the every minute of it it's been a road of a lot
of ups and downs
a lot of ups allotted downs a lot of great moments
i'd appreciate your support along the way i know i certainly haven't made it
easy for you at times
but i really do appreciate and love you guys with all my heart hopefully i'll
come back to this place someday and see all view again the thirty-year year-old
erotic won the u_s_ open over one carlos ferrer all in two thousand three
he was ranked
in the top ten for nine consecutive years at one point in his career
ranked number one
just one time after that two thousand three u_s_ open
uh... winter which is nine years ago
no american
has been there since by the way
uh... roger federer you could say it was his achilles heel uh... andy roddick
because in four major finals
that is who
he lost to roger federer thirty to turn it titles overall
eight hundred and twenty-five a_t_p_
world for matches
six hundred and twelve
to two hundred and twelve his career
records agassi's eight hundred and twenty four a two b world tour matches
and in his career
he made over twenty eight million dollars one martindale closure by the
way faces novak djokovic
in a court of finals
so now there's a lot of debate as to whether any roddick
should be considered a great tennis player from american perspective i say
absolutely because he made the sport relevant again
we've seen the light to change blake's fizzle out we haven't seen a great
champion since pete sampras and andre agassi i say andy roddick is great and
his humor in the post-game press conferences post match press conferences
prior to his antics on the court you know he's tough on referees we all know
list
but the fact that he was such a relevant
peace of
an american sports person
and the fact that he made tennis a role then again it's alright always be
relevant in the states on with the u_s_ open in all these different earnings
but we have not had a incredibly relevant americans it's an erotic energy
corp would disagree with me but i still say an erotic
is a great player and he will certainly be missed so i want to hear all of your
thoughts on this
