In a new interview, retired player Andy Roddick explained why he threw most of the trophies from his champion tennis career in the trash.
I don't really need theseThe article notes that one of the awards—a platter that Roddick received for coming in second at the 2006 US Open—is now used to hold drinks and thus covered with water stains from glasses. Another trophy, from his 2003 US Open win, is kept in a corner of his home office.Roddick retired from professional tennis in 2012 on his 30th birthday. The 2003 US Open remains his only win at a major tournament, and an American man hasn't won one since.
Roddick also revealed that he had really hoped to win Wimbledon at least once during his career. He lost toin the final three times. Federer, who retired in 2022, ended up winning that major a record eight times. "Had I won Wimbledon, I don't think I would have one single regret," Roddick said."I'm not disappointed I didn't win 10 slams. I'm disappointed I didn't win Wimbledon. You can have seven of 'em. I just wanted one."
