Andy Roddick: Too good to be a 'One Slam Wonder'

Tweet

Since Andre Agassi retired from the game, Andy Roddick became the next big thing. As an American hopeful, he is tauted to follow the steps of some American legends which includes Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Jim Courier, Pete Sampras, and Andre Agassi that dominates the game for years. And his breakthrough came in US Open 2003. Winning title and being ranked No.1 in the world, seems like America is producing talented men's tennis players successfully. He owns a record of having the fastest service in the tour, a weapon that should have caused huge damage in every match played, but seems like no effect. But since winning that maiden title, Andy Roddick hasn't won since. Though, he reached several finals but fell short in all of them. One these is the history in the making Wimbledon 2009 where he was defeated by Roger Federer, 16-14 in the fifth set, for their third meeting in Wimbledon finals. At 28 and still improving, will he still have a chance to won a Slam? Is he exist in an wrong era where there is Federer? Why he hasn't much capitalize the weapon he has? Will America men's tennis continue to have a Slam drought?
