Andy Roddick Serve Quotations

I felt like I needed to (get more aggressive), ... I need to make these guys scared of my forehand, and that's what I tried to do today. I tried to serve with a little bit more authority and ended up hitting my second serves great.

His serve is probably the biggest weapon in tennis, ... You can't teach being 6-foot-10. It's like he's serving out of a tree. Just the angles that he's able to create, he makes you hit his serves over your head where you're normally hitting them from around your hip.

I wasn't expecting him to serve that big. He was up in the upper 130s and served a very high percentage, ... There was definitely a feeling-out process in the beginning of the match.

I've tried to serve with a little bit more authority, ... I felt like I needed to become more aggressive. My aggression out there is my weapon.

I don't think my serve compares to his serve, ... At least you can get a racket on mine.

The was the slowest second serve I've hit since I was 12. I guess he wasn't expecting it.

It was good 'cause I wanted to return well. I feel like after the first four games of the match, I really started doing that. I put a high percentage of returns in the court and put pressure on him almost every service game. And if I can do that, it will make my serve look that much better to the other guys. I'm glad I was able to follow through on our game plan.

I'd heard his name before but I'd never seen him play. I said, 'I've seen that serve before, it looks familiar.'

I don't want to get too high-and-mighty about my serve because I still have one match to go. But I am feeling good about it this week.
