Eastbourne grass-court champion Andy Roddick heads to Wimbledon with extra confidence after winning the final ATP-WTA tune-up event prior to the start of the Grand Slam. The three-time Wimbledon finalist was pleased with his defeat of holder Andreas Seppi of Italy 6-3, 6-2.

“I feel better about my tennis game,” said Roddick, who lifted his ranking from 33rd to 25th as he starts Wimbledon as the 30th seed. “It’s just a fine line but it seems like a big line between playing well and hitting the ball well in drills in practice and

getting that to translate to matches.

“I was able to kind of find that crossover this week. Now it’s just a matter of taking care of myself the next couple of days and just trying to maintain what I started this week.”

The 29-year-old American earned the 31st trophy of his career from 51 finals and has won at least one trophy during each of the past dozen seasons; it was his first title since winning in Memphis 14 months ago indoors.

“I know I can win matches, it’s a matter of putting seven in a row together. I don’t know that I’m going to get carried away with thinking of this tournament in the context of a win before the first Monday.

“I think that’s a little presumptuous for me at this point. I feel I can put a scare into people right now the way I’m playing.”
