Andy Roddick Will Retire After the US Open
Roddick had a damn good career considering that he came along at such an inopportune time in tennis history. Roddick won 32 ATP titles and was the last man not named Djokovic, Nadal or Federer to be the top-ranked player in the world. In addition to his U.S. Open title, he made three Wimbledon finals and four Australian Open semifinals. And because I’m contractually obligated to mention it, he married Brooklyn Decker.
With professional tennis behind him, Roddick recently announced plans to open a “sports and learning center in East Austin to mentor youths in character and discipline.” He’ll have to keep himself busy with that. And Brooklyn Decker. Today is Roddick’s 30th birthday. Best of luck to him.
