Andy Roddick Hitting Quotations

But that's not the reason I lost the match. He wanted it more than I did. He is hitting the ball better than I am right now. I didn't come here ready to play. I'll regroup and move on.

I don't know whether it was his movement or hitting the ball on the run. He's not afraid to be stretched out. If he plays like he played today he's got a shot (against Hewitt).

You know, I still love the innocent parts of the game. I love hitting tennis balls. I love seeing the young guys do well. I'll still have a lot of friends to watch. I'll miss the relationships probably the most. As time passes, I'll probably miss the tennis more.

His serve is probably the biggest weapon in tennis, ... You can't teach being 6-foot-10. It's like he's serving out of a tree. Just the angles that he's able to create, he makes you hit his serves over your head where you're normally hitting them from around your hip.

I knew it would be tough today, Tommy has been in great form early this year. I'm happy with the way I'm hitting the ball.

Early on I felt he was hitting the ball a little cleaner than I was but I managed to sneak a break and once I got the break back in the second set I really started playing well.

I felt like I needed to (get more aggressive), ... I need to make these guys scared of my forehand, and that's what I tried to do today. I tried to serve with a little bit more authority and ended up hitting my second serves great.

I felt good because, you know, even the points I was losing, I felt like I was losing them on my terms. I thought I was hitting the ball big and attacking. It felt clean today.

I felt comfortable with every aspect of my game out there. I was hitting the ball pretty good and getting a lot of success with the slice.

I feel like I'm hitting the ball well. Now I just need to find my playing form.

I feel like I'm hitting the ball well, I feel like I'm moving well. I just want to keep getting through the rounds.
