Andy Roddick People Quotations

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

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

I enjoy hitting tennis balls. I haven't lost any of the innocent parts of tennis. I just do it in front of less people.

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.

I don't base my prospects on people pulling out. You have to beat the players playing best.

I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to figure out why a lot of people are getting hurt. I believe it's in the best interests of the game for them to come up with an off-season to give us time to recover. You can't play if your body won't allow you. A solution needs to be found.

I think I would have beaten most people today but credit where it's due, he played a very good match. The shots he was able to come up with were very good. I was surprised that he was able to lean in and hit some of the backhands. ... I haven't seen that before.

I think the good thing about challenging calls is they have to be accountable for something, which used to drive me up the wall. Before, they could make a decision and not really care about it. At least they look stupid in front of 15,000 people now if they make the wrong call. That's more fun, right?

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out why people are getting hurt.

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.

One of the cool things I remember is the Swiss people brought their big cowbells.

It seems with every match I win, I get better-looking to other people.

If I wore a sleeveless shirt, people would try to feed me after the match.

As good as Roger is, people want to see him tested. You want there to be the Boston Celtics for the Lakers, you want there to be Red Sox for the Yankees.

I get asked about it, and I?m the last person people should be asking because I played two doubles events in the last year,

But I'm through and I'm going to keep battling. A lot of people are under the assumption that it's easy to play well every week and it's not.

I didn't play that badly - plus eight in winners to errors - I looked and I won more total points. I think I would have beaten most people today, but credit where it's due - he played a very good match.

I didn't play that badly today. I think I would have beaten most people today but let's give credit where credit's due, he played a great match.

It's what some people consider the best single Davis Cup team ever with (Jim) Courier, Agassi; (Pete) Sampras was on the team, but he wasn't good enough to play singles. That's how good this team was. Some brother of yours was there, too.

I really wasn't too worried about him but... I just heard when people were calling out and stuff, giving cat-calls and stuff. I kind of felt for him a little bit.

It's kind of like a tightrope, ... You have a presence because of what you do between the lines. I don't want people to think I'm just out there doing things like, 'Look at me: I'm a big deal.' But then you go back and ask yourself, 'Am I doing enough away from the court to keep the interest there in the sport?'

At least they look stupid in front of 15,000 people now if they make the wrong call. That's more fun, right?

It's just frustration. We've all been there, except I have people watching when I break something. I'm mad with the way I played. I was competing well, then just let it get away for no apparent reason. I was fine until I just went mental at the end. I just checked out in the middle of the third set.
