Roddick praises HOF inductee Capriati
Andy Roddick praises the career of fellow American Jennifer Capriati, who will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame this coming weekend. Capriati won three Grand Slam singles titles, as well as a gold medal at the 1992 Olympics.
"I like seeing Jennifer getting the attention she deserves for her tennis," Roddick told reporters. "We lived through so many story lines with her throughout her career, I'm glad that tennis is finally getting the credit it deserves. She was the No. 1 player, won multiple slams. She was a huge infusion for the game as far as garnering crossover attention. The everyday Joe knew Jennifer Capriati. She was the phenom, then the comeback. It's a great story."
