Roddick doing a Sabbatini Impersonation?
Andy Roddick is ready to unseat Roger Federer at the US Open.
"I've been hitting the ball really well in practice. I've started serving well in practice. I've been playing the right way in practice," Roddick said after his workout Sunday. "So, you know, there's no reason why I can't make a run here."
He was given the day off Monday, when No. 1 Roger Federer was to begin his quest for a fourth consecutive U.S. Open title by facing 319th-ranked qualifier Scoville Jenkins of the United States. Federer is aiming for his 12th Grand Slam title, which would tie him for second in history behind Pete Sampras' 14.
"He's the favorite," Roddick said about Federer, his possible quarterfinal opponent. "The way I see it, there's the favorite and then there's people trying to unseat the favorite."
