Andy is back in full strenght. After his historical win over Federer in Miami he had a horrible (quite anonymous) 3 months spell where it couldn’t just make it. Now it is clear he is back on track.
Seeded no.4 Andy had to defeat harsh opponents such as Mahut and Isner in a tricky semi. The final didn’t start well with Roddick losing the opener 6-1. Then it was time to come back with Andy winning the second set at the tiebreak to then take avantage of an imploding Muller and win the decider 6-2.
“I know by now the score of a set is irrelevant. Whether it’s 7-6 or 6-1, it still counts the same,” said Roddick. “With most other sports, you get way up in the first quarter and it actually means something in regards to the rest of the game. In tennis, it’s not really the case too often, with the exception of momentum. You just try to start over and put some holds together. I was able to [get] out the second set and I think he might have gotten a little tired in the third.”
This is Roddick’s 32nd career title “I’ve won 32 times now and every one of them, I’ve never assumed I was going to win again,” said Roddick. “I’ve always appreciated it… I go through the process of playing, work hard, and hope that I can put myself in position enough times to create some success.”
