Andy Roddick, American tennis player
Andrew Stephen Roddick (born 30 August 1982) is an American former world No. 1 tennis player. He gained the top ranking shortly after winning the 2003 US Open, his only major triumph.
As of March 2022, he is the most recent North American man to win a singles major (2003 US Open), the most recent to hold the top ranking, and the most recent to claim the year-end world No. 1 ranking (which he achieved in 2003). Roddick reached four other major finals (Wimbledon in 2004, 2005, and 2009, and the US Open in 2006), losing to rival Roger Federer each time. Roddick was ranked in the year-end top 10 for nine consecutive years (2002–2010) and won five Masters Series titles in that period. He was also a crucial player in the U.S. Davis Cup team's successful run to the title in 2007.
Roddick retired from professional tennis following the 2012 US Open to focus on his work at the Andy Roddick Foundation. In retirement, Roddick played for the Austin Aces in World Team Tennis in 2015. This was his eighth season in World Team Tennis and the fifth team for which he has played. He was also the 2015 champion of the QQQ Champions Series, a feat that he repeated again in 2017. In 2017, Roddick was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. He is married to Brooklyn Decker, a swimwear model and actress.
