Early Life
Roddick lived in Austin, Texas, from age 4 until he was 11, and then moved to Boca Raton, Florida, in the interest of his brother's tennis career, first attending Boca Prep International School, but graduating from the Highlands Christian Academy in 2000. Roddick played varsity basketball in high school alongside his future Davis Cup teammate Mardy Fish, who trained and lived with Roddick in 1999.

Professional Career
Roddick's breakthrough year was in 2003, in which he defeated Younes El Aynaoui in the quarterfinals of the 2003 Australian Open. This was because Avnaoui was a seeded tennis player and was the fan-fave for winning the Australian Open. But the young prodigy outclassed his older counter-part, in a grueling match that would set him as record holder. Finally after the victory of all his exhibition matches and all the open, and his destructive Wimbledon showdown, Roddick, at age 21, was ranked # 1, the first American to finish a year at # 1 since Andre Agassi in 1999. He also became the youngest American to hold this rank since computer rankings were started in 1973. Recently he was back to form, after a knee injury, and played in the 2010 US Open, however lost in the 3rd round. Nonetheless, the comeback kid is tough and will pull out and finally win an open.
