Roddick, while responding to the development on his official
Twitter account, expressed delight by saying: “Hell Yes”.
Roddick was famous for his big serve and that was the reason
why he had a lot of success during his early days.
However, despite all of that talent, the 40-year-old’s reign
at the very top was short-lived as he only managed to win one Grand Slam in his
career which was the US Open in 2003.
Roddick defeated Spain’s Juan Carlos Ferrero in the final in
straight sets with a score of 6–3, 7–6(7–2), 6–3 to achieve the feat.
Other than that, the Omaha-born
also played in three finals at Wimbledon where on all three occasions, he was
defeated by the former world number Switzerland’s Roger Federer.
