Andy Roddick played a good last match. Not great, but good. It was great to see him play but toward the end of today’s match you could see him struggle a bit. It almost seemed like his emotions about retirement were getting the best of him. The crowed rallied for him with standing ovations and loud cheers. Even Pippa Middelton got on her feet for him (she looked fantastic in a bright yellow dress with dark oversized sunglasses), but it was all over with his last swing.
As soon as the game ended the mic was given to Del Potro. He spoke very briefly and said it was not his time to talk it was Roddick’s as he needed to enjoy his last moment (I paraphrase, but in any event it wasn’t the best choice of words but he meant nothing by it). Roddick was obviously emotional, how could he not be? He is ending a huge chapter in his life. He thanked the fans, his parents, his coaches and family but no particular shout out to Brooklyn. I hope he doesn’t get in trouble when he gets home. I’d kick my husbands ass.
Anyway, sad to see you go Andy! We will miss you!
