Roddick Overcomes Hewitt, Himself

by Greg CouchFiled under: Wimbledon, ATPThis is the Andy Roddick we should have been watching all these years. It's the guy we saw early in his career, when he was going to be the next great American star, smoothly making the transition from Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi.Somewhere in there, Roddick's brain stopped developing. Or maybe the sport just kept developing while he was stuck in the power era, when finesse and style and smarts, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, moved in. He was a Neanderthal, while modern man arrived.Whatever ... Andy Roddick has been promising a new Andy Roddick lately. And on Wednesday, there he was. He beat Lleyton Hewitt 6-3, 6-7 (12-10), 7-6 (7-1), 4-6, 6-4 in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, and now will face No. 3 Andy Murray in the Battle of Andys, on Friday.Roddick Overcomes Hewitt, Himself originally appeared on Fanhouse Tennis on Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:42:00 EDT .
