Retired Roddick may miss competing

Andy Roddick, who retired after the U.S. Open, tells ESPN.com that he’s unsure how he will feel when the 2013 season begins.

“To be honest, I don’t know that it will really affect me until January comes around,” Roddick said. “The last 13 Januarys I’ve been in Australia. I haven’t experienced Jan. 8 in the United States for 15 years. You start to identify certain months with certain places, that’s where you are … I wasn’t jealous of the guys going on a 15-hour flight to Shanghai [in October] or wherever else. Once I see the guys over [in Australia], obviously I’ll miss it a bit.”
