More quotes by 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.

I'm just glad to see that Pete (Sampras) shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger (Woods) or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to tell them differently.
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.

If I wore a sleeveless shirt, people would try to feed me after the match.
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
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
The whole point of team competition is to pick your teammates up.
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 think if I believe in something strongly enough, I'm pretty outspoken about it.
Andy Roddick
I'm gonna have to start winning some of the matches to call it a rivalry!
Andy Roddick
Having two older brothers is a healthy reminder that you're always closer to the bottom than you are to the top.
Andy Roddick
I'm not going to go run and hide because I'm catching some heat. I'm not going to stay at home and pout.
Andy Roddick
There have been great champions in every generation.
