Is Andy Roddick’s Fitness Enough for a US Open?

This is a critical time in Andy Roddick’s tennis career as he prepares for the upcoming US Open.
Roddick has played some great tennis this past summer and many believe the former US Open champion has revived his career. Much of this is due to the fact that Roddick has spent a great deal of time on his fitness.
While Roddick is in great shape at the moment, time isn’t exactly his friend right now. Currently 26, he’ll be 27 by the end of the calendar year, which really only leaves him with a few more years to play effective tennis. The American tennis world is counting on Roddick to come through for them, as other Americans like Blake, Fish, and Querrey aren’t considered legitimate contenders for a Grand Slam.
Roddick is older than all of the men’s top 5 tennis players, with the exception of the world’s top-ranked player, Roger Federer. And as far as Federer’s concerned, he’s playing better tennis than he has in quite some time, as he’s experienced a revival of his own.
It must be frustrating for Roddick, who was literally points away from winning his first ever Wimbledon again Roger Federer in the finals earlier this summer. This was a classic match that truly could have gone either way.
At this point in his career, Roddick’s window is beginning to close. He probably has three or four effective years left, but many tennis players age into their late 20s as they slide in the rankings.
He got a slight taste of what he is capable of at Wimbledon, now it is up to Andy Roddick to close the deal and hush any critics he may still have.
There would be no better place for Roddick to win than in front of a home crowd in New York. Time will tell if he has what it takes.
