More quotes by Andy Roddick
No, if I wore a sleeveless shirt, people would try to feed me after the match. If you got the guns, go for it. I got two breadsticks sticking out of my sleeve. I'll stick with sleeves.
Andy Roddick
I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.
Andy Roddick
At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.
Andy Roddick
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!
Andy Roddick
I've become better at the net. I've got a 135 mph serve so I'd be stupid not to follow that in. Overall I'm a better player than I was last year.
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
I don't really rate press conferences. It's not as though I leave the room fist-pumping my way down the corridor after a good one.
Andy Roddick
I still don't believe I won the U.S. Open. It's so far-fetched for me.
Andy Roddick
When you make the schedule, you're not planning on playing deep into every single week, or at least I haven't in the past. I'm not physically or mentally ready to pick up my bags and go to Monte Carlo. I definitely have to look at what's best for my chances at (at the French Open).
Andy Roddick
Why would I get a wild card into an American tournament, (as the) top-ranked American? Why would that happen? That makes too much sense. Maybe I should play more Davis Cup, that's the story. Oh wait, I do.
Andy Roddick
You can get the true essence of New Yorkers by just hanging out in Central Park
Andy Roddick
I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get.
Andy Roddick
I cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.
Andy Roddick
The only pressure I feel is what I put on myself.
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
One little secret of the guys who have won one slam, is that we don't want other guys to win one because its like a bit of a special fraternity.
Andy Roddick
No, actually I wanted to play five. I definitely wanted to try to lose that fourth set and test the waters in the fifth.
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.
Andy Roddick
There's no home team in tennis, no built-in fan base, so the players have to step up and do their fair share.
Andy Roddick
I've been good about keeping my nose to the grindstone.
