Andy Roddick’s US Open Chances

Andy Roddick comes into the 2009 US Open at a crossroads of his career.

After a strong showing at the Wimbledon 2009 tournament, Andy Roddick is back to top form. He’s spent countless hours each week focusing on keeping his body in the best shape possible, and Roddick’s tennis has markedly improved as a result.

On the other hand, the US Open marks the end of another season, as the prime of his career slowly slips away as he still looks to snap the longest US men’s Grand Slam drought in the open era.

At year’s end, he’ll be 27 years old. While he currently stands 5th in the world, three of the four ahead of him are four years younger or more. The other? Roger Federer, who has had a rebirth of his own to coincide with Roddick. In fact, Federer has been the thorn in his side for years.

The writing is on the wall for Andy Roddick. He was literally inches away from overcoming one of his obstacles in the 2009 Wimbledon final against Roger Federer, but that must be forgotten as he looks to make a solid run at the two hard court slams and of course on grass at Wimbledon.

Whatever the case may be, Andy Roddick must seize the day and play the best tennis he possibly can. The field is a competitive one, but this is the time for him to win another slam, and possibly some more.

Roddick showed the tennis world what he’s capable of doing. At this point, it’s all in his hands to prove that it wasn’t a fluke. Many write it off since Rafael Nadal sat out from Wimbledon with injury. Nadal, the defending champion, probably would have emerged from Roddick’s half of the draw, say critics.

There would be no better place for Roddick to win than in front of a home crowd in New York. Time will tell if he has what it takes.
