Andy Roddick, who hasn’t reached the semifinals of a major since taking Roger Federer to five sets in the 2009 Wimbledon final, believes that he can go deep at the All England Club this year. The three-time finalist is seeded No. 8; last year, he was stunned in the fourth round by Yen-Hsun Lu. Roddick defeated Andreas Beck ,6-4, 7-6, 6-3, in the first round, running his overall grass court record to 77-18.
"Anyone outside the top four that could make the semis or finals? I can make the semis or finals. I've done it before," Roddick said after being asked who outside of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray could go deep at the tournament. "They're playing great tennis. You can point at any one of them and certainly compliment their pedigree. Seems like they're all in form right now, which isn't always the case. I mean, they deserve all the credit and attention they get right now. [But] I feel healthy. I know what it takes to go deep at this tennis tournament."
