Andy Roddick Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Andy Roddick:

The selfish thing about an athlete is you always look at the side of things where you say I could've done that better.

I don't know that I've ever been someone who's interested in existing on tour. I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me.

Andy Roddick

In the States, tennis is sixth or seventh on the totem pole as far as sports go.

Andy Roddick

I've pretty much been portrayed as every style thing you can be. After Wimbledon you are Andy Everyman, who everybody is rooting for. I think the meat and potatoes of who I am hasn't been covered yet.

Andy Roddick

Call me All-American, but I love Ham and Cheese sandwiches. And not just any old ham and cheese sandwich... My mother's is the best. I've tried many times to make these sandwiches on my own, but it's never the same.

Andy Roddick

When I was 18, 19, I was presented as the 'aw shucks' Nebraska kid who's coming up with a big serve, and then I flipped out a couple of times, and then I was ueber-brat, when I feel like there's parts of both, but I don't think I am either one, if that makes sense.

I think I've always had a decent perspective on wins and losses on the tennis court.

Having two older brothers is a healthy reminder that you're always closer to the bottom than you are to the top.

Andy Roddick

Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.

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

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'll never lose my roots. I think I'm too close to my family for that. I still make my trip back to Nebraska every year, and I still love going back to Texas where I grew up, as well. I've just kind of had to mature a little bit more and get used to a little bit different style of life.

Andy Roddick

My entire career, I've been a worker.

Andy Roddick

I used to go to the U.S. Open on my birthdays and sit in the nosebleeds.

At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.

It's not so much that I don't like traveling, it's just that I love being home. I love being able to spend time with my friends.

Andy Roddick

I'm the most successful bad player ever.

Stay in school kids or you'll end up being an umpire.

I cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.

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

There have been great champions in every generation.

Andy Roddick

The selfish thing about an athlete is you always look at the side of things where you say I could've done that better.

Andy Roddick

Stay in college, kids. Otherwise, you may become an umpire.

Andy Roddick

You know, I still love the innocent parts of the game. I love hitting tennis balls. I love seeing the young guys do well. I'll still have a lot of friends to watch. I'll miss the relationships probably the most. As time passes, I'll probably miss the tennis more.

Andy Roddick

Tennis is a full-time job and not just the two hours that people see when we're on the court.

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.

I think I have a lot of room for improvement. My serve is okay, but I need to work on a lot of things: return, transition game, backhand.

I've always, for whatever my faults have been, felt like I've never done anything halfway.

I don't care when people use the term 'one-Slam wonder' with me.

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

I think it's foolish to think that if you've done something for so long, you can kind of delete it out of your memory bank or delete every emotion attached to it. I knew when I retired what that meant.
