On this practice show court, there was a huge crowd of people. As usual, a crowd meant good stuff, so I went over to check it out, camera-in-hand. Without disappointment, another one of the superstars in the tennis world, Andy Roddick.
Brief summary about Andy: He was born in 1982 and became world number 1 in 2003 with the capture of the US Open title. Thereafter, his fortunes dipped and his rankings dropped, while simultaneously, Roger Federer's star kept rising and became world number 1. In the last 14 matches that they played against each other, Andy has won 1 and Roger 13, most recently at this year's Australian Open where he lost 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 to Roger. Andy's current coach is tennis legend Jimmy Connors. For Andy Roddick's official website, checkout: www.andyroddick.com

The many faces of A. Rodd

Receiving serve
Crowds throng to watch him train, and get autographs afterwards
Lots of hope as his form seemed to improve tremendously after a change of coach to Jimmy Connors
Andy doing a serve. Clockwise from top left picture: In position, toss, coil, serve. The man with the fastest serve in the tournament.
That's Andy Roddick for you fans...
