QUOTEBOOK
“Andy was a TGI Friday’s and Chili’s boy, and with that type of diet — nachos, meat and potatoes — you work five hours a day and you’re re-polluting your body. Now Andy is a Whole Foods, organic kind of guy.” — Larry Stefanki on Roddick
“His waistline keeps shrinking while his skill set keeps growing.” — The South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s Ethan J. Skolnick on Roddick
“Andy Roddick still has the scariest serve in tennis…Roddick still has his shirt-yanking tic. He still zings like a stand-up comedian. And, even at age 27, Roddick still wears a baseball cap backward…But Roddick is a changed man, too…Maybe the new Andy Roddick can do something the old Andy Roddick hasn’t done in seven years: win a Grand Slam.” — Linda Robertson, Miami Herald
“I was my own worst enemy.” — Venus on her 6-2, 6-1 loss to Clijsters at the Sony Ericsson Open
