More quotes by Andy Roddick
There have been great champions in every generation.
Andy Roddick
I've pretty much been portrayed as every style thing you can be. After Wimbledon you are Andy Everyman, who everybody is rooting for. I think the meat and potatoes of who I am hasn't been covered yet.

I always said if I had to pick one Grand Slam to win, it would be the U.S. Open.

Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.

You know, you can only throw in so many haymakers before one misses and you get knocked out
Andy Roddick
He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.
Andy Roddick
In the States, tennis is sixth or seventh on the totem pole as far as sports go.
Andy Roddick
My backhand is definitely a lot more solid and consistent. There were times when I couldn't hit it into the ocean.
Andy Roddick
Stay in school kids or you'll end up being an umpire.
Andy Roddick
It's pretty high up there on the list. Being able to return a serve at that speed is one of the biggest things that separates the professionals from the recreational players.
Andy Roddick
I kind of know youre only as good as your last result.
Andy Roddick
When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.
Andy Roddick
It seems with every match I win, I get better-looking to other people.
Andy Roddick
I used to, like, hit for a half hour and then go eat Cheetos the rest of the day, come out and drill forehands. Now I'm really trying to make it happen, being professional, really going for it, and I miss my Cheetos.
