Andy Roddick is at an inflection point as far as his career is concerned. The 2009 US Open could dictate where his career goes from here.
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.
At this point in his career, Roddick's window is beginning to close. He probably has three or four effective years left, but many tennis players age into their late 20s as they slide in the rankings.
Wimbledon was a perfect showcase of Roddick's talents. With one of the best serves in the game and some impressive ground strokes, a fit Andy Roddick could stick around as one of the world's elite players for quite some time if he keeps up this level of fitness.
Roddick wants a title in New York just as badly as anyone else out there. He'll play his heart out, and we wish him luck.
