Great serve. Average game otherwise. No different than playing in era with Becker, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Edberg, etc…..or in Sampras, Agassi era. Above average at best. But still banging Brooklyn Decker so props for that.

Good riddance. Guy was nothing but a whiny little bitch.

I would have retired the moment I married Brooklyn Decker.

On a side note, he’s only 30 years old, set for life, and is married to Brooklyn Decker, so it’s hard to feel sorry for him.

I just always waited for him to take that next step and compete with the likes of Nadal, Federer, and now Djokovic.

Good luck in future endeavers Andy.

“There’s no shame in losing to Federer, but for a player of his caliber to lose to guys like Teymuraz Gabashvilli (French Open 2010), Lu Yen-Hsun (Wimbledon 2010), and Janko Tipsarevic (US Open 2010) is mind-boggling.

And his on-court behavior has fared no better. In 2010, he had temper flare-ups at both the Australian and U.S. Opens. Somewhere, Serena “Foot Fault” Williams is thanking him for taking some flack off of her.

I’ve rooted for Roddick on and off over the years, but it’s frustrating to cheer for someone who always seems to shoot himself in the foot. It’s tempting to attribute Roddick’s unfulfilled potential to the fact that he was competing in the Federer Era. Yet he has had many chances of his own. The world has been rooting for him since Wimbledon 2009, and he hasn’t been able to capitalize.”

Great player in a tough era, but you cant help but think “unfulfilled potential” when it comes to Roddick.

He was so fucking frustrating to watch, but alas, he’s won the game of life. I tip my cap for bagging his wife, and his serve. That’s…about it.

Definitely did, but still had some success. Enjoyed watching him play.

Got absolutely screwed by the era he played in.
