A-Rod w LA

kukurykupryku

Andy and Team Roddick have set up camp in Los Angeles for the 82nd Countrywide Classic. For the first time since his withdraw from last week’s Master Series in Cincinnati, Andy returned to the courts. Andy, John and Doug practiced for an hour on Stadium Court in Los Angeles Monday.

Both Coach John Roddick and Athletic Trainer Doug Spreen acknowledged that Andy’s condition has improved since last week but they are still taking the necessary precautions for a full recovery. Andy was enthusiastic and in high spirits to be back in action. “I hate not playing and I hate withdrawing from tournaments…It’s the most hollow feeling every when you have to walk off because you’re hurt and you know people have come to watch you play.”

As the top seed at the Countrywide Classic, Andy was given a bye and is scheduled to play Thursday Evening. Andy will play the winner of Vemic vs. Warburg.

Andy Ready for 4th Appearance in L.A.

“I’m excited to play LA,” Roddick said. “It’s a great tournament to play, and a fun city to be in. I’m looking forward to heading there.” The number one seed is in Los Angeles now getting ready for his round two start at UCLA for the 82nd Countrywide Classic. From August 4th – 10th, he’ll be embarking on his fourth journey in LA-LA Land to win his first title here.

Andy, who played in ‘01, ‘02, and ‘06, is hoping to top his semifinal appearance here back in 2002 where he was defeated by Jan-Michael Gambill. Heading the draw this year will help his chances, but it won’t be easy as he could clash with Tommy Haas(8) in the quarterfinals, Marat Safin(5) in the semis, and possibly Chile’s Fernando Verdasco(2) or compatriot Mardy Fish(6) in the finals. His 2008 debut here however will begin against either Lucky Loser Dusan Vemic(SRB) or qualifier Sam Warburg(USA).

The Countrywide Classic has been played every year since 1927, entering it’s 82nd year, making it the longest-running annual professional sporting event in Los Angeles. It will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the tournament’s move to UCLA’s campus. The tournament is part of the Olympus US Open Series, also known as the Greatest Roadtrip in Sports, which Andy is the two-time champion of.

“Andy is not only the top American tennis player, but one of the top sports personalities in the world,” Tournament Director Bob Kramer said. This personality has brought Andy to number one in the world, his fans to their feet at nearly every match, and tournaments eager to have him participate. You can see Andy return from last week’s sudden injury on the Tennis Channel from Friday to Sunday, or watch live if you live in California.

Statystyki nie za specjalne, 8 asow, 4 df. Skutecznosc pierwszego serwisu bardzo dobra, ale drugiego ? Boje sie ze styl slajs & top spin dalej jest uskuteczniany :/

W czwartkowym meczu Roddick pokonał Dusana Vemicia 6-2, 6-2. - Mój rywal grał tak, jakby był troszkę przestraszony. Złapałem dobry rytm i wykorzystałem jego strach.- mówił po meczu Roddick.

przestraszył sie tej czarnej koszulki pewnie!!!
zeby teraz sie wszyscy bali to bedzie dobrze!

Bizon

Jezeli Roddick tutaj wygra to na US Open bedzie rostawiony z 8 (pod warunkiem ze Blake nie dojdzie do 1/2 finału na Igrzyskach).

Bardzo wazne zeby tutaj wygral, jak wpadnie na Rafe, czy Djokovica juz w IV rundzie to bedzie niebyt fajnie...

No to ściskamy posladki i do roboty!
jest szansa!

Andy Knows His Marc

Tonight in the Countrywide Classic quarterfinals, Andy will take on France’s Marc Gicquel not before 8pm at UCLA. After defeating Dusan Vemic in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, Andy will keep up the momentum to bring home another hometurf hardcourt win.

“It was nice to get through with a rather good form,” Andy noted in his post-match press conference. This good form will resurface tonight as Gicquel will be hoping to even their head-to-head score at 1-all after Andy got the “W” back at the 2007 Australian Open in straight sets. The 6’2”, 31-year-old Frenchman boasts his forehand and serve are his best weapons and hardcourts are his favorite surface. Tonight’s match should be a showdown of similarities.

Gicquel defeated Donald Young in the second round, 6-3, 6-3, to face the number one seed here in L.A. Though Gicquel is ranked 49th, reaching a career high of 38th back in April 2007, his doubles experience, reaching a high of 58th in Jane, may pay dividends to his net game tonight.

Here are more stats on Gicquel:
Birthdate: 30-Mar-77

Birthplace: Tunis, Tunisia

Residence: Boulogne-Billancourt, France

Height: 6’2’’ (187 cm)

Weight: 165 lbs (75 kg)

Plays: Right-handed

Turned Pro: 1999

Coach: R. Gilbert & J. Potier
