Andy Roddick
YEARS ON TOUR: 2000 – 2012
PEAK RANKING: #1
MAJOR TITLES: 1
Speaking of class acts, 31-year-old American Andy may seem like a frat bro (and yes, his propensity to blow up at umpires and line judges was a double fault), but since winning the 2003 U.S. Open, he carried the flag for America men’s tennis for a decade, and did it admirably, even when he suffered heartbreaking losses in three Wimbledon finals. Smart and engaging, he was the king of post-match press conference soundbytes, and like James Blake, is an Athlete Ally
“Jason Collin’s courage and leadership in coming out reminds me of how important it is for an athlete to be able to be true to him or herself. As an Athlete Ally, I want to support every athlete to feel comfortable and confident being themselves and to make sure that all people – players and fans alike – are welcome and included in tennis.”
Since retiring, Andy has started to make his mark in showbiz. Move over, Stifler!
