Andy Roddick is the top ranked American player and currently ranked at number eight in the World. He is a former winner from 2003, where he beat Juan Carlos Ferroro in the final. He has reached three other Grand Slam Finals; he was runner up here at the US Open Tennis Championship in 2006 and lost two Wimbledon Finals in 2004 and 2005. He lost all his finals to World Number One, Roger Federer.

He recently split with his coach of two years, Jimmy Connors, who is five time winner of the US Open. Andy has returned to being coached by his brother, John.

Andy’s style is that of an attacking baseliner, but one who relies on his big serve to earn him cheap points. He is not the fastest around the court and likes to win his points in short games where possible. Under Connors guidance, it became clear, that Andy was covering the court considerably more astutely and we can expect further improvement in that area. One of his weaknesses is dealing with pressure, opponents are aware that when they can put him under pressure, his volley and backhand become weak. This has been responsible for him not winning more titles.

His confidence was boosted earlier this year at the Miami Masters, when he recorded only his second ever win against Roger Federer, bringing their head to head score to 2-15. Roddick will feature prominently in the US Open Betting and will attract good US Open Odds to win here.
