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.

More quotes by Andy Roddick
I always said if I had to pick one Grand Slam to win, it would be the U.S. Open.
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 definitely think the European weather has more of a factor than the European clay. I think the European weather changes from week to week, I mean, last year it was sunny and hot and this week it's kind of playing tricks on us a little bit. I definitely think that is a factor.
Andy Roddick
I think if I believe in something strongly enough, I'm pretty outspoken about it.
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
My serve has killed a small dog ... I'm joking, I'm joking! The dog was huge!
Andy Roddick
I'll be the first to admit it, the life I'm leading is basically a joke. I should probably be cooler about it, but I can't fake it, you know?
Andy Roddick
I'm the most successful bad player ever.
Andy Roddick
I'm an emotional player ... I like to leave it out there.
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'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
I like grass, I enjoy it and it suits my game.
Andy Roddick
I still don't believe I won the U.S. Open. It's so far-fetched for me.
Andy Roddick
I don't have much interest in being on a senior tour. I don't think I retired so that I could be on tour.
Andy Roddick
I don't care when people use the term 'one-Slam wonder' with me.
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
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 played basketball in high school, and I love watching sports - I'll watch everything except maybe hockey.
Andy Roddick
The key to the match might have been his serving. Maybe I should have concentrated harder on watching them go by me, I don't know.
Andy Roddick
There's no doubt there are issues with clay. Our issues have issues that are issues right now. That's not a secret.
