Congrats to Andy and the rest of the USA Davis Cup for winning the semi-final against Sweden 4-1. Andy played the match that gave the USA the win. He won in straight sets again Jonas Bjorkman
I added some HQ pics of Andy from the Davis Cup match and from this years Wimbledon
I added a short interview that Andy did after the USA beat Sweden. You can download it here
Here is another interview:
Q. So Russia in the final, what do you say?
ANDY RODDICK: You know, it’s something that I know we’ve been — we as a team have been dreaming of for a while, having a home final. I think we’re all just really excited about the opportunity.
Q. The last time the U.S. had a home final, we understand that you were there. Can you tell us about some of your recollections of that. It apparently made quite an impression.
ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, I think I was nine years old and I went with my tennis club to that tie in Dallas. It changed my life. I mean, it changed kind of the way I viewed tennis, especially the way I viewed Davis Cup. It was my first professional tennis match — no, that it is not true. I had seen Jimmy at the Open in ‘91. It was the first time I’d kind of seen Davis Cup.
It just kind of blew my mind, to see the team that we had there. I mean, it was Agassi, Courier, Sampras and McEnroe. To be able to see that in that type of setting as a little kid, it definitely makes a bit of an impression, to understate it.
Q. You also beat Russia in ‘95.
ANDY RODDICK: That was in Moscow. It’s tough for me to, you know, make that ‘95 tie relevant just because I was playing in 14-and-unders at the time, so I didn’t really have a lot to do with it. It was a little bit far to travel for a 13-year-old to Moscow.
Q. When you say it changed your life, you were already playing by then, right? Did it solidify what you thought you wanted to do and where you belonged?
ANDY RODDICK: No. I wasn’t one of these kids raised to be a tennis player at all. But just seeing something like that is pretty powerful. You know, being with the other fans in an arena like that, seeing your heroes play, hearing the anthem for the first time, it really was the first time I’d been at a sporting event which was just, you know, completely about patriotism and that whole thing.
I think I fell in love with it then. Read More!
I added four HQ pictures of Andy at the press conference for the Davis Cup Semi-Final
Andy won his match in straight sets (against 7-6 7-6 6-3) Joachim Johansson. This gives America 1-0 lead over Sweden. I hope to get some HQ pictures from this match soon!
You can download an interview with Andy about his match here. It is an MP3 file.
Andy Roddick will face Joachim Johansson, who has not played a match in eight months because of injury, in Friday’s opening singles of the Davis Cup semifinal between Sweden and the United States.
Thursday’s draw also pitted Swedish No. 1 Thomas Johansson against James Blake in the second singles match on Scandinavium Arena’s indoor carpet.
In Saturday’s doubles, Simon Aspelin will team with veteran Jonas Bjorkman against American twins Bob and Mike Bryan, the world’s top-ranked pair.
Both captains — Mats Wilander for Sweden and Patrick McEnroe for the United States — can change their doubles teams up to one hour before the match starts.
In Sunday’s reverse singles, Johansson plays Roddick and Johansson faces Blake.
Johansson has been sidelined most of the year because of a shoulder injury. The Swede, who has one of the hardest serves in men’s tennis, is 1-1 against Roddick.
He upset Roddick, then the defending champion, in the quarterfinals at the 2004 U.S. Open. Roddick won their other match, a quarterfinal at San Jose, California, in 2004. Both were played on hardcourt.
It’s been a couple of days that I’ve updated this site. Been busy studying for school. But that is all done now. I graduated college today, so it’s all finally done and I can star the ‘grown up life’
