RODDICK RETIRING

SAY WHAT?:
......Then if I lose one, it’s like we should take him out in the field and shoot him in the head. — Andy Roddick

CLOSING UP SHOP:

Nobody is shooting anyone because tennis professional Andy Roddick is not going to give them a chance.

After this year's US Open, Andy Pandy is retiring. Sad face.

"I just feel like it's time. I don't know that I'm healthy enough or committed enough to go another year....," quips Roddick.

Andy won the US Open only once in 2003. Roddick, also, was a former #1-ranked player.

As a side note, we were ardent fans for Roddick in the early 2000's, including 2003. THEN!!!!.. that all changed in 2004, when we FIRST laid eyes on Nole Cakes. We jettisoned Andy quicker than Ripley did that Alien.

The spunky Serbian with the wicked cross-court backhand stole our heart from day one. We have been faithful and monogamous fans of Nole's ever since!!

Andy turns 30 on Thursday and will announce his retirement on his birthday.
