Roddick Returns
Many critics have questioned Andy Roddick's work ethic, and support the notion that he may put too much emphasis on "off court" fun opposed to "on court" training. On the contrary, Andy clearly has a strong passion for the sport, and it's exciting to watch him when his focus is in tact. The Beijing title proves that something may be "brewing" for A-Rod as the Masters Cup approaches.

About this blog
Harry Cicma tackles the hot topics in tennis, sharing his insight on the favorites, tournament news and players to watch. Harry was ranked for three years on the ATP Tour doubles circuit and played four years of NCAA Division-I tennis at Rutgers University. He now covers all sports as a TV producer/anchor on NBC in Southern New England.
Nice video, Harry.
Critics who question Roddick's work ethic or his passion for the game of tennis don't know what they are talking about. Roddick is known for having one of the best work ethics in the business (you don't stay in the top ten for years by partying all the time, just ask Mark Philippoussis). Roddick has been lucky in that he has avoided major injuries over the years; this year was the first time he's suffered a shoulder injury. I hope that is all behind him now, the men's tour needs him! Hopefully he'll do well at the year end Masters Cup.
Fun video! I love the fire that Roddick brings to the tour...obviously he's no Agassi, but it's similar excitement....it would be SO cool to see Andy win one more Grand Slam.
