In the September 2009 issue of TENNIS magazine, Douglas Robson offers us five things we didn’t know about Andy Roddick. Here are four more, for good measure, left over from that interview:
CHARITY WORK MEANS MORE TO HIM THAN WINNING AT TENNIS.
“It’s more lasting than any tennis match I’ll win. I’m pretty proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish, but you don’t get to do that stuff without winning on the court.”
HE COULD LIVE IN THE LAND DOWN UNDER.
“I don’t think I’ll ever leave Austin. I like London, but we go there when it’s actually decent as far as weather goes, so maybe [I could live in] Australia.”
HE HAS SECRET DAVIS CUP STORIES.
“There’s a lot you don’t know and there’s a lot you will continue not to know.”
THERE'S A DOWN SIDE TO TOUR LIFE.
“Probably just being away from friends. I love competing. I’m very aware of what I get to do for a living is pretty cool. But I miss being away from my friends and feeling out of the loop when I do get home.”
