Roddick To Have Limited Preparation For The US Open

Andy Roddick’s withdrawal from this week’s Toronto Masters will leave the one-time top American with just two preparation weeks for the US Open if the soon-to-be 30-year-old shows up at the Cincinnati Masters and then honors his appearance commitment at the 250-level ATP tournament in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

It’s been hit or miss for the No. 21, who has mixed titles on grass at Eastbourne and cement in Atlanta in with a Wimbledon third-round loss and the second-round exit at the All England Club at the Olympics.

Roddick has had the last laugh on his critics who suggested after his first-round Roland Garros defeat that it might be time to start thinking about retirement. That’s not the way the sometimes combative American sees it at all.

“I think people want to deal with absolutes right now, and that’s not something I’m going to do at this point,” he said. “I certainly have seen the fallout of an athlete that says one thing and changes his mind.

“So I don’t know if I want to be that guy right now. I’m happy playing, and I really enjoy what I do and appreciate the opportunity to go out and play a game for a living.”

Roddick admitted that several seasons on injuries have not done his confidence any good. But he plans right now to soldier on, adding: “I just don’t know at this point. It’s not like you are 24 and know you are going to play for a while.”
