ANDY RODDICK BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Andy Roddick was born on August 30th, 1982. His father Jerry and mother Blanche had already spawned a highly athletic family: Andy's brother John was an All-American tennis player at the University of Georgia, and oldest sibling Lawrence excelled in springboard diving.
The Roddick family moved to Austin, Texas when Andy was 4, and then to Boca Raton, Florida six years later, in the interests of John's tennis career. In the end, this final move benefitted Andy the most, who, at 10 years old, took an interest in tennis.
junior wins helped pave the way
Roddick, also a star high school basketball player at Boca Raton Preparatory School, hit the tennis courts every day for practice or state tournaments. He rose through the U.S. junior system and it didn't take long for his parents to realize that Andy had a chance to make a living through his talents with the racket. Accomplished French coach Tarik Benhabiles took Roddick under his wing and groomed him for the world junior circuit.
In 1999, he entered three U.S. Futures events -- where top juniors play -- and lost in the first round of each. At almost 17 years old, the experience in and of itself was more important than winning. |
