Andy Roddick Special: Quotable quotes of the American Tennis star (Part 2)
Quote: "He's got to jump out of an airplane with me...I've been four times, but he's got to go with me. He's scared to look off the second floor balcony downstairs. So it should be fun. He might mess his pants or something. This is going
to be good stuff...I don't know [when it will happen]. Call 1-800-sky-dive tomorrow and see if they have a place close to Cincy, who knows?"
Context: Roddick had a bet with his coach Brad Gilbert that in the event Roddick wins the TMS-Canada, the coach will jump out of a plane along with Roddick
Quote: "I was happy to get to No. 4 because Brad, that was what he had on me -- 'Yeah, yeah, I was 4 in the world, you're only 5.' So he's lost that line this week."
Context: Roddick after equalling his coach’s career best world ranking
Quote:"Every time I lose, it's a coaching change. I love it. You guys just won't quit. No, I mean, my coach didn't lose the match. You know, he's smart. I'm the one losing the matches. He's not losing them. You know, when we're doing well,
we're the perfect fit and we've been together for four years. When I lose a match, it's time for a coaching change. I think, you know, the results lie in my hands. He's a smart guy. He's been around the block many times. But there's not much you can do from
the stands when your player's playing like c**p."
Context: Roddick leaps to his coach’s defence following his opening round loss at the Roland Garros. The media had already started speculating about a coaching change.
Quote: "I'm still missing that little something."
Context: Andy Roddick talking to the press after yet another opening round loss at Monte Carlo.
Quote: "Brian didn't have much to lose. We practice together so we know each other well. I started to loosen up a bit and started to play better. I do better when I don't like someone!"
Context: Roddick following his victory over Brian Vahaly.
Quote: "Grow a spine!"
Context: A furious Roddick screaming at the Chair Umpire. Yes, yet again!
Quote: "No, if I wore a sleeveless shirt, people would try to feed me after the match. If you got the guns, go for it. I got two breadsticks sticking out of my sleeve. I'll stick with sleeves."
Context: Andy Roddick answering the press when asked whether the American would be playing in a sleeveless shirt, much like James Blake.
Quote: "I'm just glad to see that Pete shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to
tell them differently."
Context: Andy Roddick running out of superlatives praising the legendary American tennis player.
