Roddick : What Does the Future Hold For Him Now?

(1/7) > >>

hercules:
he says this might be his last wimbledon. he also said  thathe is getting old and that he is banged up with injuries.

will he stay in the sport if he continues to drop in the rankings? also all these first round losses cant be good for his confidence.

what are you thoughts? i think the sport needs him. he is not as old as he thinks he is.

is he trying hard enough?

I agree with you. I hope he gets healthy and starts playing better again. It seems like he is low on confidence at this moment.

hercules:
good to see you general tennisfan.
 
i think he is filthy rich and his wife is even richer. that is what the deal is.
 
he lacks the motivation.
 
they have players almost 10 years older than him still out there competing on the atp tour.
 
 
hass has been set back with injuries all his career and he never gave up.
 
roddick is also scared if getting his ass kicked by the big boys. that is why he avoids all those clay events. he showed up at RG to tank.

Roddick playing his last wimbledon ??
That is definately sad & i really hope its not true.. :(

maybe the olympics might help in motivating him to win titles.. ://

monstertruck:
I'm not so sure about the lack of motivation.
He's always come across as a very hard worker.
Surely the thought of playing the top flight players of today and continually getting thrashed is almost as unpleasant as losing in the early rounds to weaker players.  The sting of losing coupled with the drop in rankings must be extremely painful to a former champ.

Would love to see him stick around, but I'm not sure how long he can take the pain.  At least Euroka will be happy if Andy (not Murray) retires! :rofl_2:
